Chipotle Spinach Chicken Soup

This winter is extremely cold, especially in the northern part of the States. Even you turn up the heat real high at home, do you still feel that it is still too cold? You don’t even want to move around, but just under the blanket.

This quick and easy soup was inspired by a Chinese broth that we use in the hot pot. The soup is so hot that it numbs your lips and tongue. But if you like the heat, this soup is definitely for you.

Ingredients
1 Package (10oz; thawed; squeezed out the excess moisture) Frozen Spinach
1 Can (14 oz) Chicken Broth
2 Cups Shredded; Cooked Chicken
1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce (finely chopped)

Seasonings
½ tsp Sugar

Bring chicken broth to a boil
Add chipotle, sugar and spinach in
When the soup boils again, add chicken to warm it up and serve

Serve 2 people

TIPS
Can be doubled
Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce is available on the international aisle in the grocery stores. It comes into a small can which is about 8 oz. But you can never finish the whole can all at once. Put the leftover into a clean glass container and cover it up. It can stay into the fridge for more than 6 months. Every time when you take a portion out, make sure to use a clean utensil.
