Best Mexican Chipotle Chicken Soup Recipes

CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium heat. Add corn and onion; cook until lightly caramelized. Add chicken broth and chipotle chile; let simmer 20 minutes over low heat. Add the tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard the chipotle chile.
• Place one-sixth of the tortilla strips in the center of six soup bowls; ladle soup around the crisps. Garnish with remaining cilantro and sour cream. Serve with a wedge of lime.
• This is the exact recipe -- I prefer to put avacado in just before serving -- so it is not warmed.

MEXICAN CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Add oil to a stock pot. Sprinkle chicken breast with salt and pepper and brown on both sides. The breast does not have to be cooked through. Remove from pot and shred with a fork.
• Add onion, garlic and minced chipotle to the oil. Fry quickly for about 1 minute. Then add the tomatoes, stock, corn and cilantro. Bring to a boil, add the shredded chicken and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
• Add the diced avocado and bring back to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• To serve, ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle fried tortilla strips on top.
