Notes

Note 1: I use homemade chicken stock for this recipe, which doesn't have salt in it. If you are using store-bought stock, use half the amount of salt measured for this recipe.
Note 2: Jalapeños can be tricky when it comes to heat. Sometimes, they are really hot and other times, they're on the milder side! If you want more heat, use more peppers. Alternately, you can play around with different peppers for various levels of heat and flavor.
