Mexican Chicken or Turkey Soup image

I originally found this recipe on Food.com posted by Belinda M. I tweaked it here and there and ended up with a keeper. It's a great way to finish off a turkey carcass, too! I top it with fresh cilantro, cheddar cheese and tortilla strips.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c cooked chicken or turkey, shredded or cubed
1 1/2 c carrots, sliced
1 c celery, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
6 can(s) diced tomatoes, 14 1/2 oz cans
2 jalapeño peppers, minced or to taste
6 c water
6 c chicken broth
3 c corn, frozen or fresh
1 tsp chipotle chili powder, or to taste
4 clove garlic, minced
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 tsp cilantro, dried (optional)
1 c diced potatoes (optional, if adding reduce carrots to one cup)

  • 3. Process quarts at 11 pounds pressure for 90 minutes. For pints process for 75 minutes. Adjust for altitude where necessary.
  • 4. Remove jars and cool. After 24 hours, check for seal. You should have a yield of 6-7 quarts for this recipe.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great freezer meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth and tofu instead of chicken or turkey. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to corn, so I had to substitute the cornmeal with rice. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out watery and tasteless. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.
