Tex-Mex Chicken Soup (paleo) (Edit recipe)

To be honest, I LOVE anything that is Mexican food related. Growing up in California spoiled me in many ways, one was the amazing Mexican food. As an adult I tried Tex-Mex and love that almost as much. I am always thinking of ways to make soup more appealing to my husband, who is not naturally a soup lover...right? I don't understand it.

This recipe comes together in one pot and is super tasty. The whole family will enjoy it. You can bump up the heat if you like or leave it more spicy, not so much hot. You can double the recipe and freeze it for an easy weeknight dinner. It is very versatile.
