with chicken
Description
You can add almost any ingredients: tomatoes, mushrooms, shrimp, etc. The most important thing is that the soup tastes good to you and your loved ones, friends. Remember to add lime or its juice directly to the bowls when serving, so the milk doesn't curdle. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
