Notes

The soup thickens as it sits, so stir in a splash of broth or water when reheating if you prefer a thinner consistency. For extra meal prep convenience, portion it into individual containers right after cooking and store in the fridge up to five days. Skip the cilantro and lime until serving to keep the flavors bright.
