Manzanillo Chicken Noodle Soup
A rich chicken noodle soup with a Latin America flavor base known as sofrito. This version of sofrito is tomato-based with sautéed onions and garlic. The Manzanillo seasoning we chose has a wonderful blend of flavors to include Ancho chilies, Pasilla chilies, black pepper, garlic, chipotle peppers, onion, coriander, Mexican oregano and cumin. There are several online companies that sell Manzanillo seasoning. Look for a Salt-Free version.
