Add Chicken, Lime Juice & Seasonings

Add the chicken pieces to the soup. Now squeeze the lime(s) and add the lime juice to the soup through a small strainer. Bring the soup back to a boil, then leave the pot over a medium-low flame to simmer for another hour or two. Season to taste with: 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp each black pepper, sage and thyme, and 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes. Tip: taste and adjust seasonings from time to time. The peppers are accent flavors, so don't overdo them – they will become stronger as the soup cooks, and especially the next day!
