Description

This incredibly flavorful Chicken Tortilla Soup is delicious any time of year but especially wonderful during those transitional weeks between seasons.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 8-inch corn tortillas, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
  • 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle chiles, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
  • 1 carton Aneto Natural Chicken Broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 1/2–2 limes), plus 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional Garnishes: Sliced avocado, sliced radish, finely chopped cilantro, tortilla strips, shredded chihuahua cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add tortillas and onion to pot and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and cook for 3 minutes more. 
  3. Add reserved chicken, diced tomatoes, black beans, chipotle chiles with adobo sauce and Aneto Natural Chicken Broth. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low. 
  4. Simmer soup covered for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  5. Prior to serving, remove chicken pieces to a plate and shred into small pieces using two forks. Return chicken to the pot. Add fresh lime juice and season soup with salt and pepper to taste. 
  6. Serve with suggested garnishes as desired.
