Chicken Tomatillo Soup

We have been crazy for soups all month. This soup is one I created about 5 years ago, just when I was starting to experiment more with Hispanic flavors. It’s close to a white chili, but a bit different. It’s full of tomatillos, white beans and lots of chicken. It’s seasoned with green chilies and smoky cumin, then it’s finished with lots of freshly chopped cilantro. It’s a really nice soup everyone will love. My family adores this soup, especially my young son, even though it’s a little on the spicy side.  I’ve kept this recipe a guarded secret for way too long, so today I am finally sharing it with all of you.

This soup was also featured on Tablespoon.com, along with 3 more amazing soup recipes I will be sharing very soon!
