SPICY LIME & CILANTRO SOUP



Spicy Lime & Cilantro Soup image

This is a very spicy, lime & cilantro flavored soup that I came up with because I like Lime & chili flavored Ramen soup. I can't believe I admitted this on a cooking site :) This is not a thick soup, it's very thin and very flavorful and is low in fat, it's a combination of several recipes I have seen. This will clear up your sinuses! Great for a fast lunch.

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 8 parts
1 onion, skin on, cut into quarters
2 carrots, scrubbed and cut into thirds
6 cloves garlic, skins on
2 jalapeños, 1 halved lengthwise, 1 thinly sliced
10 cilantro sprigs, plus 1/3 cup chopped leaves and stems
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 avocados, thinly sliced, for serving
2 radishes, thinly sliced, for serving
1/3 cup crumbled cotija, for serving

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 14 cups water; add chicken, onion, carrots, garlic, halved jalapeño, cilantro sprigs, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt and bring to a boil. Skim foam, reduce heat, and gently simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer all chicken pieces except backbone to a cutting board; continue simmering broth while you remove and discard skin and remove meat from bones. Cover meat and refrigerate; return bones to pot and simmer until broth is reduced by half, about 1 hour.
  • Strain broth through a fine‐mesh sieve; discard solids (including bones). Skim fat; transfer broth to a clean pot. (You should have 8 cups; if you don't have enough, add water.)
  • Heat 1 inch oil in a pot over medium‐high until it reaches 375 degrees on a thermometer. Add one‐third of tortilla strips and cook until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper‐towel‐lined plate; season with salt. Repeat with remaining tortilla strips.
  • Shred cooled chicken into 3 cups of bite‐size pieces (reserve remainder for another use). Add to broth along with sliced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, tomatoes, and lime juice. Heat through, about 2 minutes; season with salt. Serve topped with avocados, radishes, cotija, and fried tortilla strips.
