Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 green bell pepper, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
salt to taste
1 cup frozen corn

Steps:

  • Bring water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom stockpot; and chicken, cover Dutch oven, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate to cool and pour water from Dutch oven into a bowl for later use.
  • Heat olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic to onion mixture; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Mix chicken broth, black beans, Great Northern beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chile peppers, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and salt to taste into onion mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover Dutch oven, and simmer until soup flavors blend, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove bone from chicken and discard. Shred chicken meat into small pieces using your hands or a fork. Add chicken and corn to soup; cover Dutch oven and cook until corn is warmed, about 5 minutes.

Categories     Sides

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 oz large white onion, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, to taste
1 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed
4 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 cups low sodium chicken stock
25 oz hominy, drained and rinsed
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
¼ cup lime juice
onion, finely chopped
fresh cilantro
avocado, thinly sliced
cotija cheese, crumbled
tortilla strip
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, chipotle peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes to a food processor. Puree until well combined, with no large pieces remaining, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and the oregano.
  • In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot if it appears dry. Pour the reserved puree into the pot. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid has started to evaporate. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until nearly all the moisture has been cooked out and the puree has reduced to a dark paste, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the shredded chicken and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the stock is simmering, stir in the hominy and bell pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Add the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot, with onion, cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, tortilla strips, and lime wedges alongside for topping.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are all good choices, but you can also add other spices that you like, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water, but your soup will not be as flavorful.
  • Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve your soup with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chicken tortilla soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
