🥛Milk🌰SesameSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free eating, skip the cheese and creamy topper, or use plant-based versions if you like. For vegetarian or vegan meals, replace the chicken with extra beans or a hearty meat alternative; for sesame avoidance, choose a spice blend and stock without sesame ingredients.
What to serve with it
Serve this soup with a crisp green salad, lime wedges, or warm tortillas to round out the spicy, hearty flavors. If you want extra crunch, add more tortilla chips on the side or a simple avocado garnish.
