This is the recipe that started it all. Locals and customers visiting the Albuquerque International Airport simply call it The Soup, but everyone knows exactly what they are referring to. A magical combination of flavors from an old family recipe, it's simply wonderful. Most anyone who has been to the Albuquerque airport has heard of it or tried it, and now with this mix it is available to anyone, anywhere. The chiles do provide some heat, so the dollop of sour cream on top adds some wonderful flavor and balances the chiles. Once you try this, you'll know why it has become a true Southwestern delicacy.

USA Today recommends that if your are traveling through the Albuquerque airport, skip the chicken nuggets and opt for the green-chile chicken soup at Comida Buena Gourmet Deli or pick up a box of Green Chile Chicken Soup Mix at El Mercado gift shop.
