Chicken taco soup

Format Post format: Image

Details here: https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-chicken-taco-soup-248133 We used shredded meat from 1/3 rotisserie chicken. Despite its generous seasonings, we found the soup flat. We supplemented with a dash of Worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, and white wine vinegar. We found that freshly squeezed lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro added brightness.
