Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 cubes chicken bouillon
3 (32 fluid ounce) containers vegetable broth
4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 cups chopped fresh tomatillos
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 small zucchini, cubed
2 medium jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
2 medium Spanish onions, chopped
2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
1 medium poblano pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Place chicken, celery, onion, and chicken bouillon into a large soup pot and add water just to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and let simmer until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and shred into medium-size pieces using 2 forks. Set aside.
  • Add vegetable broth, green beans, diced tomatoes with chiles, tomatillos, garlic, zucchini, jalapeno peppers, onions, bell peppers, poblano pepper, oregano, and cumin to the pot.
  • Puree roasted red peppers and chipotle peppers in adobo in a blender or food processor; add to soup and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in shredded chicken. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, partly covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Serve.
