Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Chile-mint salsa:
4 jalapeños
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon (or more) kosher salt
1 cup (loosely packed) fresh mint leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Soup:
1 3-4-pound whole chicken
3 quarts low-salt chicken broth
4 ears of corn, husked, kernels cut from cobs, cobs reserved
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
5 whole black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Garnishes:
1 large tomato, diced, lightly salted
Tortilla chips
2 limes, cut into wedges
Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • For chile-mint salsa:
  • Char chiles over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until blackened all over (this adds a smoky flavor and makes the skins easy to remove). Let cool. Using a small knife, scrape skin from chiles; discard. Coarsely chop chiles (for a milder salsa, discard seeds).
  • Make a paste by mincing garlic and 1 teaspoon salt on a work surface, scraping with the side of knife occasionally. Add chiles and finely chop, then add mint and finely chop. Transfer to a bowl; stir in oil. Season with more salt, if desired. DO AHEAD: Salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Return to room temperature before using.
  • For soup:
  • Place chicken and broth in a large heavy pot. Add water just to cover chicken. Bring to a simmer over high heat, skimming the surface occasionally (foam can add bitter flavors to soup; discard it as you skim). Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, continuing to skim surface occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add corn cobs, halved onion, garlic, carrot, celery, peppercorns, bay leaves, and 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until breast meat is just cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let cool slightly. Cut off breast meat; set aside (cooking breast meat longer will make it tough). Return chicken to pot. Simmer over low heat until legs and thighs are cooked through, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Remove pot from heat. Transfer chicken to a platter; let cool slightly. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another large pot; discard solids. Shred all chicken meat, discarding skin and bones.
  • Bring strained broth to a simmer. Add corn kernels and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add red onion; cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
  • For garnishes:
  • Divide soup among warm bowls. Garnish with tomato and tortilla chips. Squeeze lime wedges over; add wedges to soup. Serve, passing chile-mint salsa and sea salt alongside.

1 jar(s) 15 oz corn & black bean salsa
16 oz chicken stock (1/2 box)
pinch garlic powder
pinch cumin
pinch onion powder
1 c sour cream
cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Coat the bottom of a stock pot or dutch oven with olive oil and heat on high.
  • 2. When the oil is hot, put the chopped up chicken in the oil and cook through and season with salt and pepper. You can use either white or dark meat, it is your choice and works well with both.
  • 3. When the chicken has finished cooking, add the can of beans, salsa, chicken stock, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Stir until well mixed.
  • 4. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Taste to see if you need more seasoning or salt. If you want more heat, you can add taco seasoning or chili powder.

  • 7. Add sour cream and stir well, keeping the heat on low to help breakdown the sour cream and help it blend better.
  • 8. Serve into individual bowls and top with cheddar cheese.
