I had a soup in Toronto similar to this that I have been trying to recreate and this hit the mark. It is the broth that is so good. Tons of lime, cilantro, and jalapeno is the key. It is very unique, healthy and oh so delicious. I cut out the veins and seeds of the jalapeno so it was not that hot. Yum!

This is the best thing I cook! I love it. It is soooo flavorful and has quite a kick. I am new to cooking and this is a challenging recipe, but I have made it more than any other recipe I have because it is so worth it. It makes a lot so I freeze half and I think it is even better reheated. I have made some changes to the recipe too: I cut back on the broth, omitted the sausage (health reasons), omitted the shrimp, doubled the chicken. I didn't find that the shrimp was worth the effort since the chicken is so good in it anyway. I add the entire can of tomatoes with peppers. Double the celery. Also, I don't fry up the chicken, I just let it cook right in the soup. It's much easier that way. I never reviewed a recipe before, but I like this one so much I made an exception.
