I love Mexican food spices. I cook many things with these spices. This is a wonderful light soup. And it can double as soup to make you feel better when you have a cold. 
12 oz Chicken Breast Skinless / Boneless bite size pieces
3 C water
The following all cut up in bite size pieces. I like to chew my soup
1/2 small onion - i prefer sweet yellow or white
2 celery stalks
1/2 bell pepper - green, yellow, orange, red which every you prefer
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Paprika / Smoked preferred
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Oregano
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/8 tsp Sage
1/8 tsp Rosemary
1/8 tsp Thyme
1 1/2 Tb Lime Juice
Throw it all in a pot and cook as slow as you can stand until the celery and peppers are chew-able. Do not hard boil as that makes the soup cloudy. Just a very low simmer. This may take an hour or more.
My math says this is about 500 calories for the whole pot.
This serves 2 people or 1 Haazen.
You can substitute 1/2 tsp celery salt for the celery and 1/2 tsp minced onions or powder for the onions if you desire. I do sometimes leave out the pepper and chop the onion and celery very fine if I plan to add noodles. And spaghetti is a very fine chicken noodle soup noodle. The calorie count goes up if you do add the noodles. But who's counting them things anyway?
Enjoy ;D
