Recipe submitted by DaVita dietitian Victoria from Illinois. Portions: 9 Serving size: 1-1/2 cups Homemade chicken stock is always best—it’s full of flavor and much lower in sodium compared to regular or reduced-sodium broth. Use disposable gloves when chopping hot peppers. Remove the seeds and membrane inside for a milder heat. Try substituting beef for chicken for a variation of this recipe.
