I originally found this recipe on Food.com posted by Belinda M. I tweaked it here and there and ended up with a keeper. It's a great way to finish off a turkey carcass, too! I top it with fresh cilantro, cheddar cheese and tortilla strips.

How To Make mexican chicken or turkey soup

    Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 3 minutes. Add chicken and boil lightly for 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Ladle hot soup into hot, sterile jars leaving 1-inch headspace. Run a spatula around the inside of each jar to remove air bubbles and wipe rim of jar. Add lids and make finger-tip tight. Place jars in your pressure canner.

    Process quarts at 11 pounds pressure for 90 minutes. For pints process for 75 minutes. Adjust for altitude where necessary.
