Recipes With Limes

As you may have noticed, I am calling this soup recipe chicken lime soup. Recipes with limes are very popular in Latin cuisines. I wanted this soup to have that southwest flavor. 

You do not see many soup recipes with limes, but trust me the lime helps bring out the heat. plus it helps add to the flavor of the soup as well. I also added corn to give this chicken soup more of the southwest chicken soup feel to it.  This Mexican soup is amazing and you will love it!
