Tomatillo Soup
Tomatillo Soup brings a lively tang from tomatillos balanced by gentle heat from jalapeños and warm spices. Tender shredded chicken adds substance, while a dollop of sour cream lends a cool, velvety finish. It’s a satisfying bowl for weeknights or casual gatherings when you want bright, Mexican-inspired flavor.
