Put the water (or chicken or beef stock) to boil in a small pot.In a separate pot, at medium flame saute for 3 minutes the 2 cloves of garlic, and the onion previously minced. Add the green peppers (cubed) and carrots (cubed or sliced) to the saute. Let it sit for 2 more minutes.Add the chicken breast (if you use that to add a protein). If chicken is raw, let it saute with the rest of the ingredients in the pot for at least 5 minutes, or until you see it is cooked.

Let it boil for 15 minutes in medium to low flame and it would be ready to eat. Just make sure the chicken (if added) is well cooked.If you add cheese, like I do, cheese has to be added towards the end, 3-5 minutes before the soup is done.Chop the fresh cilantro springs and sprinkle it over the soup in the bowl.Serving Size: 3 CUPSNumber of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FITLITA.
