For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock instead of canned. You can also add a smoked ham hock or some diced andouille sausage during the simmering process for a deeper, smokier flavor profile. Adjust the amount of salsa and chili powder to suit your preference for spice. If you prefer a milder soup, use mild salsa and reduce or omit the chili powder. For a spicier soup, use hot salsa and add a pinch of cayenne pepper. This soup is even better the next day! The flavors meld together beautifully as it sits. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
