For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you prefer a completely smooth soup, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. This soup freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
