Spicy Chicken Soup

Submitted by Momma Zakaria

"I created this dish one night just fiddling around. Everyone who tries it loves it, even those who hate spicy foods. My husband swears it is like Moroccan food, so I suggest serving it over cous cous."

Tasty chicken soup with just the right amount of spice. I added 2 celery stalks and some baby carrots. I like to clean out the fridge when I made vegetable soup. Be sure to use the full amount of onions they add so much flavor. My potatoes cooked right out to mush making the soup cloudy but sure did not affect the flavor. In fact they thickened the soup a bit. I did not have lemon pepper so I used regular and added 2 tbsp of lemon juice. I like the low sodium rating for this recipe. Thanks Momma Zakaria for posting this easy recipe
