  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. minced jalapeno pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. freshly minced ginger or 1 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
  • 4 cups chicken broth can use water and chicken bouillon or 2 (14.5 oz. cans of chicken broth)

  3. Once boiling, carefully add the chicken, lower the heat, and simmer for a minute or two until the chicken is warmed through.
  4. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped cilantro and green onions if desired.
