For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs to make your broth. Simmer the thighs in water with aromatics (onion, carrots, celery) for an hour, then shred the chicken and use the broth for the soup.
To control the heat level, start with a smaller amount of green chiles and add more to taste. Be mindful that some green chiles can be quite spicy!
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can whisk together a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice for an extra layer of flavor.
