I can’t exactly remember where I got this recipe from, but this has been one of our (and our friends’) favorites since I started making this soup.  Quick and easy to make, it is positively delicious especially if you like spicy food!

• 5 cups chicken broth
• juice of 2 limes
• salt and pepper

 Optional
