Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (6") corn tortillas, divided
2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup canned refried beans
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
1 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 2.5 ounces)
1 small onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle chiles, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2"-thick strips, strips cut in half lengthwise if large
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 1/2-2 limes), plus 1 lime, cut into wedges
Sliced avocado, sliced radish, and cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Arrange 2 tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with oil. Bake 5 minutes, then flip and continue to bake until crispy, 4-5 minutes more. Carefully spread each tortilla with 2 Tbsp. refried beans; season lightly with salt and dust with cumin. Top with cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges to create nachos.
  • Meanwhile, cut remaining 2 tortillas into 1" pieces. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add onion and tortilla pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 1 tsp. cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Immediately add broth, tomatoes, chiles and sauce, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cover pot, increase heat to high, and bring to a gentle simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and add chicken. Gently simmer over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lime juice. Season with adobo sauce, salt, or pepper, if needed. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with nachos, lime wedges, avocado, radish, and cilantro, if using. Season with pepper, if needed, and serve immediately.
  • Do Ahead

VERY CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP



Very Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Cheese Soup image

I loved this recipe, it was so good. I did use fresh broccoli and steamed it until crispy soft. I didn't use as many potatoes, about 1 1/2 cups, I used about 1/2 cup carrots and added sliced mushrooms & chopped cooked chicken. I don't usually use/like recipes with canned soup or Velveeta BUT this was great. I gave some to my neighbor who only makes homemade scratch soups (as well as I) and she just loved it. I don't remember where I found this recipe but when I did it sounded so good that I printed it out. So glad I did. LOL

Provided by Pricilla

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups diced potatoes
1 (8 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
2 cups carrots (optional)
1 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 ounce) can milk (cream of chicken can)
1 (1 1/2 lb) Velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • Dice the potatoes, chop carrots and onion into small pieces. Dice the Velveeta into small cubes and store in the fridge.
  • Pour 4 cups of water and 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes into a large pot, bring to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots & onions. After about 10+ minutes (original recipe said about 5 minutes, but the broccoli disintegrates if you put it in too soon) add the box/bag of broccoli.
  • Cook about 15 minutes or until the veggies are done.
  • Add the cream of chicken soup and one soup can of milk.
  • Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly add the Velveeta cubes while stirring.
  • Cook, stirring often, until all cheese is melted (try not to scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon as the bottom sometimes has a layer of browned soup, if you scrape it off you will get chewy brown bits in your soup!) Note: This is when I like to add my cooked chicken, mushroom and steamed broccoli.
  • Serve with Italian bread for dipping. This soup is so thick and rich, you really don't need any side dishes, but I usually serve it with a salad.
  • Leftover soup can be frozen or refrigerated.
  • ENJOY!
