This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great freezer meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if it had a bit more flavor.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I usually add a little extra chili powder and cumin to give it a bit more of a kick.
