For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the chicken. To add more depth of flavor, consider sautéing a diced onion and bell pepper in olive oil before adding the other ingredients. This soup is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
