GREEN CHILE, CHICKEN, AND CORN SOUP



Green Chile, Chicken, and Corn Soup image

This soup has some of my favorite things in it! I really enjoy it in the fall, just as the weather is turning cold. I can usually still find fresh corn at that time, and it's so great to have a warm soup on a crisp, chilly night! This is from "Southwest Cooks!", a collection of Native American cuisine.

Yield 13 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onion
2 whole cloves
5 cups beef broth
3 cups chicken broth
3 chicken breast halves, skinned
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced
2 anaheim chilies
2 3/4 cups fresh cut corn, about 4 ears
1 avocado, sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
salt and pepper
sour cream, fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Peel the onion and stud with the cloves. Combine the onion, broths, chicken and potato in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until the potato is tender.
  • Remove the onion. Remove the chicken, reserving the broth in the pan. Let the chicken cool, bone it, and chop the meat. Return the chicken to the pan; set aside.

Broil 3 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 6 minutes or until charred. Place chiles in ice water; peel and discard skins. Coarsely chop the chiles, and add to the reserved broth mixture.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP



Green Chile Chicken Soup image

Ridiculously easy and quick. My husband's favorite. The only way to mess this one up is to add too much milk making the soup too thin. I got this recipe from my mother, but I don't know where it originated. The amounts can vary. You really can't mess this one up.

CREAMY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE



Creamy Green Chile Chicken Soup Recipe image

Provided by dawnu1

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tbs. canola oil
1/2 large onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 c. chicken, cooked and shredded
1 c. roasted green chile, diced
1 Tbs. flour
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. half and half
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 . tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about a minute, until fragrant. Add chicken stock, raise heat and bring to a boil. When stock is boiling, remove 1/2 c. of broth and let it cool. To the boiling broth, add shredded chicken and green chile. After reserved broth is cool, add 1 Tbs. of flour to it and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture back into the boiling broth and mix well. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, add the cream cheese. Gradually add the half and half, whisking constantly. This is so the mixture won't be as clumpy when you add it to the soup; if it's a little clumpy, don't worry because it will end up melting into the soup. Add the cream cheese mixture gradually into the soup, whisking constantly. When cream cheese mixture is added, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the soup thickens. Do not boil. Ladle soup into bowls and enjoy! *Serve with warm flour tortillas if possible

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP



Green Chile Chicken Soup image

When I first came home after having my baby, my sister in-law made a soup like this for me and froze it in a bag to reheat in the crock pot so I didn't have to cook. I fell in love with it so I added a few ingredients and it is now a staple in our home. Hope you like it!!

Categories     Other Soups

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pre cooked chicken-- or 2 large chicken breasts, roasted for 30 minutes and shredded
3 Tbsp butter
1 black beans
1 can(s) pinto beans
1 can(s) (the small size) no salt added, corn
3 can(s) diced green chiles
1 can(s) petite diced tomatoes
1 handful chopped cilantro
1 can(s) chicken broth- low sodium, + 1 can water
1 Tbsp fresh minced garlic (a couple cloves)
1 yellow onion- diced
1 lime- just the juice
1 Tbsp chile powder
1 tsp dried oregano- crushed in hands
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. If you're using a precooked chicken, remove the skin and shred all of the meat into a bowl and set off to the side covered with the skin to hold in moisture. If you're going to make the chicken yourself, rub it with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and chile powder. Then put on a roasting pan drizzled with EVOO and roast on 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, let it rest about 10 minutes on covered in foil and shred when needed. This makes good juices to add to the soup :)
  • 2. In a large stock pot, add the butter, garlic and onions and saute on medium-ish for a few minutes until the onions are tender. The onions are more for flavor and will basically dissolve when the soup is done (good for kids who don't like onions)
  • 3. Then dump in the green chiles, beans(drained), lime juice, and tomatoes. Stir and let it come to a bubble.
  • 4. Add all the seasonings, stir and add the corn, broth, and water. Once again, let it come up to a bubble (not a boil) and then add in all of the chicken. reduce heat to low, cover and let it simmer until ready to eat. Just before serving, toss in the cilantro to keep the green color and give it a pop of fresh flavor. I've eaten it 10 minutes later... I've eaten it an hour later, it's all delish :)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for organic, free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. There are many ways to make green chile chicken soup, so feel free to customize it to your own taste. Try adding different types of chiles, vegetables, or spices.
  • Make a big batch of soup and freeze it for later. This is a great way to have a delicious and nutritious meal on hand whenever you need it. Simply thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or reheat it over low heat on the stovetop.
  • Serve green chile chicken soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips.
