Arrrrrriba Arrrriba, I’m in the mood for a little Mexican party and we’re going to prepare a Fiesta Chicken Soup. In this recipe, I’m going to use fresh ingredients combined with the smokiness of Mexican chilli and cumin. I’m using large red mexican chillies, these can be purchased dried and I’m simply going powder this in my food processor. If you can’t find regular Mexican dried chillies, you can substitute guajillo, ancho or even chipotle dried peppers. You can even just use Mexican chilli or chipotle powder.

This soup is great as is but even better garnished with a dollop of sour cream, some cheese and some fresh Pico de gallo. If I have any leftovers I heat it up in a pan and poach my eggs in them as a great kick start to the day.
