TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND CORN SOUP

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ears corn, shucked
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large poblano chile pepper, stemmed and seeded, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 15-ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
1 1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a small bowl. Run the back of your knife down the cobs to scrape any corn milk into the bowl (it will help thicken the soup). Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the poblano, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Add the corn kernels and their milk. Stir in the chili powder and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the tomatoes, hominy, chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is slightly reduced and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the chips and scallions.
