Notes

Chop the habanero pepper for more heat, use it whole for less heat. Or skip it all altogether.
You can use fresh chicken straight from the farm or frozen chicken just fine for this recipe.
While cooking, add a tablespoon of the pepper soup spice mix first and check if it tastes okay.
Use no more than 2 tablespoons of the spice because too much of it may cause the soup to be slightly bitter.
