4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped onions (2 onions)
1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
2 cups chopped carrots (4 carrots)
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock, preferably homemade

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, optional
6 (6-inch) fresh white corn tortillas
For serving: sliced avocado, sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat. Cover and set aside.

Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.

MEXICALI SOUP



Mexicali Soup image

In 2nd grade my teacher Mrs. Means gave the entire class this recipe. I think we ate this in class one day, but I don't recall. It is my favorite vegetable soup recipe to this day. I'm not sure where the soup got the name, but my guess is it was probably from a story we read. My Mom said the original recipe calls for a beef soup bone and beef, but I grew up without it in the recipe. Feel free to throw either or both in to suit your tastebuds or use your own fresh homemade vegetable stock.

MEXICALI SOUP



MEXICALI SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Appetizer     Bake     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 6 oz. pkg. Farmhouse® Mexican Rice
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Two 14.5 oz. cans beef broth
1-3/4 cups water
One 16 oz. can tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup sliced zucchini
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 cup grated jack or cheddar cheese
2-3 hot chilies, finely chopped*
3 Tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, brown ground beef with onion and garlic until beef is no longer pink; drain off fat. Add broth, water, tomatoes and oregano; bring to a boil. Add corn, zucchini, celery, rice and contents of seasoning packet; reduce heat and cover, simmering for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, sprinkle with cheese, chilies and parsley or cilantro. *For a spicier dish, sauté hot chilies with onion and garlic.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or canned vegetables, but avoid using canned soups or sauces, which can be high in sodium and preservatives.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.

Conclusion:

Mexicali soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like your soup mild or spicy, thick or thin, Mexicali soup is a great option for a quick and easy meal.
