Begin by gathering your ingredients: chicken stock, lime, chipotle hot sauce, rice, and cilantro.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, lime juice, and chipotle hot sauce. Place the saucepan over low heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently for approximately 5 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld together and infuse the broth with zesty goodness.
-
While the broth simmers, prepare your desired pasta or vegetables to add to the soup. You can choose from a variety of options such as rice noodles, soba noodles, or even thinly sliced vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or snow peas. The choice is yours!
-
Once the broth is infused with flavor and heated through, add the cooked rice or pasta directly to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the noodles or rice are submerged in the flavorful broth.
-
Finally, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top of the soup. The fresh, aromatic cilantro adds a burst of freshness and brightness to the dish, balancing out the heat from the chipotle hot sauce and the tanginess from the lime juice.
-
Serve your Spicy Lime & Cilantro Soup hot, garnished with extra cilantro leaves if desired. This soup is best enjoyed immediately, allowing you to savor every spoonful of its spicy, citrusy goodness.
