Chicken Chile Verde Soup
Chicken Chile Verde Soup
Ingredients
- 2 cups halved tomatillos
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
- ½ cup Cubanelle green peppers diced
- 1 T garlic minced
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 T cumin powder
- 1 T red chili flakes
- ½ lb chicken breast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Place the halved tomatillos onto a baking sheet, and broil them in the oven for five minutes, or until the tops are blistered.
- Combine the broiled tomatillos, cilantro, Cubanelle peppers, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and water in a blender at high speed. Blend until you get a homogenous bright green salsa verde.
- Transfer the salsa verde to a medium pot, and add in the chicken bone broth, cumin powder, and chili flakes. Mix well to combine.
- Submerge the chicken breast into the liquid and switch the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking for 1 hour or until the chicken juices run clear when prodding.
- Remove the chicken breast from the pot and set it onto a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into thin strips.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add in the salt and pepper to taste.
- Let it simmer for about 3 minutes and divide the soup evenly into 2 bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
