Chicken Paprikash Soup

This hearty soup takes inspiration from Hungarian chicken paprikash, with a creamy, paprika-flavored broth studded with tomatoes, bell pepper and chicken. We like tender, flavorful chicken thighs, but chicken breast will work too. If you don’t have hot paprika, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
