For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, bell peppers, or diced tomatoes for added depth of flavor and nutrition. For a thicker soup, you can stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop.

Jul 3, 2024The only change I made was to add a bay leaf while simmering. It added a really nice depth of flavor.
