Why I Love This Recipe

This makes a huge pot of fantastic soup! I always make this when my son comes home from college and brings his roommates! Everyone will come back for seconds! Great for a crowd and you can line up the toppings like a soup buffet line. If there are leftovers, I line bowls with plastic wrap, pour in the soup, cover with more plastic wrap and then freeze. When it's frozen, just lift out the soup and keep in the freezer. Whenever you want a bowl, just unwrap it and put it in the bowl and microwave it.

Part 1:
12 Cups Chicken Broth (you will need 14 Cups total for this recipe)
3 Limes - Juiced
1-1/2 Cups Tomato Juice
1 Cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

1/2 tsp. Ground Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
