Garlic Chicken Broth Soup

Submitted by litldarlin

"The spicier the soup, the better it will be at clearing your head, so be generous with the red pepper flakes. Just don't make the soup so hot you can't tolerate it. There is no chicken pieces in this soup. Just the Chicken Broth."

This is such a great "concoction". In search of a simple Broth recipe I found this and as if I were making a broth I used the leftover pieces of a chicken that was cooked. II sauted some onion with the carrots before I added into the broth and instead of chili powder I used Chinese garlic pepper sauce ( my favorite!). Very nice! I may have changed it but your recipe was the inspiration- thank you!

very tasty, my nose is still running, I didn't add the curry powder, and added some oregano. Also some noodles. This definitely fixed my spicy pregnant craving....i used a tsp of red pepper flakes, and it gave it a great kick and had a baked potato on the side to balance the spicy...yummy
