For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you don't have homemade broth, opt for a low-sodium variety to control the saltiness of the soup.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as diced potatoes, zucchini, or peas, to customize your soup.
Adjust the amount of lime juice to your preference for a brighter, tangier flavor.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used dried. It still turned out great.

    I doubled the recipe and froze half for later. It reheats perfectly.
