Note
Do not boil the soup after adding yogurt, as high heat will cause it to curdle. Warm gently over low heat only.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
You can adjust the spiciness by using hotter or milder canned green chiles.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, avoiding a boil.
If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
For extra richness, you can use full-fat yogurt or add a dollop of sour cream on top when serving.
