A Favorite Soup


Mexican Chicken Soup              
serves 4 (I always double this recipe because we love it.)

2 garlic cloves minced        1 shredded chicken breast
1 chopped onion                  1 c. cooked rice
1 bell pepper diced              1 c. chopped tomatoes
4 c. chicken broth                1/2 c. chopped cilantro
1/4 c. lemon juice

Sauté onion, garlic and bell pepper until soft, add both. Bring to a boil. Add lemon juice, chicken & rice. Return to boil, add tomatoes & cilantro. Remove immediately from heat in order to retain oil from cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper ( maybe ~1 tsp. each.) Garnish with additional cilantro.
