This simple chicken fajita marinade has been bounced around in my family for at least 15 years. It's tasty, easily altered for taste, and made in under 15 minutes. Serve the chicken with other fajita elements such as sautéed green bell pepper, onions, jalapeño slaw, homemade tomato or mango salsa, etc.

Chinese Chicken Vegetable Soup
We had a Chinese restaurant that made two soups that I loved how they tasted. When they went out of business, we looked for someone else that made these two soups, without much luck. Knowing all the ingredients that were there, I went to work to make my own recipe for this very tasty soup. Plus I'm a big fan of 'make it tasty, fast and easy' which this is, when I run the veggies through my food processor. Also when I not feel well, this is one soup that has all what help me feel better. I also serve this with steamed rice as a side dish for those who want it as well.
