Description
Spicy, hearty chicken soup. I enjoy mine with some slices of sourdough bread to dip in the soup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 head garlic, minced, or to taste
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into cubes
- 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (such as Embasa®), chopped, adobo sauce reserved, or to taste
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro (leaves only), chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until softened
- 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into saucepan; add chicken. Place a lid on the saucepan and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center
- about 10 minutes.
- Put chopped chipotle peppers in a bowl with about half the reserved adobo sauce; stir. Mix tomatoes and cilantro together in a separate bowl.
- Stir chipotle mixture into the broth mixture a spoonful at a time
- stirring and tasting between each addition
- until the level of spiciness is to your liking. Remove saucepan from heat and stir tomatoes with cilantro into the soup.
