spicy chicken soup









I made this soup a while back but it tasted better this time when my neighbor friend Laura made it for our meal swap. Everyone else's always tastes better! It's like a chicken taco soup. It wasn't very spicy as the name suggests but I'm sure it depends on the kind of salsa you decide to use. This recipe got 5 stars at allrecipes!
I made some quesadillas to go with our meal and burned them. My second oldest daughter said the prayer and said, "And thank you to mom for burning our cheese quesadillas because they taste better that way." AMEN.
