It doesn't get any heartier

Mike makes incredible green chile, but like me, he doesn't do cooking for engineers. It was hard to pin him down on exact measurements for this recipe as he usually just starts adding ingredients. Vary this recipe according to your own tastes.

*We prefer to use homemade chicken stock for the liquid and recommend you do the same. However, if you don't have homemade, we strongly encourage you to not use commercial chicken stock, as it is usually full of MSG, which can be disguised as: Natural Flavors, hydrodlyzed soy protein, or hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Even stock that claims to be organic or natural often has MSG.

Also beware of the "no added MSG" claim, as some of the pre-made components may contain MSG.
