Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 mounded tablespoon Tex-Mex seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
4 cups hot water
One 10-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes and green chiles
One 3.5-ounce can green chiles
2 chipotles in adobo, minced, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
Two 15-ounce cans black beans, drained
3 tablespoons masa harina
1 lime, juiced
5 small corn tortillas, cut into 2-inch strips
3 scallions, sliced
1 cup sour cream
1 cup pico de gallo (store-bought)
1 cup crumbled queso fresco

Steps:

  • For the soup: Put the chicken thigh pieces in a bowl and add the seasoning mix, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a plate.
  • Next, add the garlic, bell peppers and onion to the pot and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes more. Stir in the tomato paste, coating the vegetables. Add the browned chicken, chicken stock, hot water, tomatoes and green chiles, green chiles, chipotles and adobo sauce. Stir in the black beans and bring to a boil.
  • Mix the masa harina with 1/2 cup of water and add to the soup. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes; the soup will thicken ever so slightly. Add the lime juice and taste, then adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • For serving: Stir in most of the tortillas just before serving.
  • Serve, topped with the remaining sliced tortillas, scallions, sour cream, pico de gallo and queso fresco.

MOIRA MITCHELL'S QUICK AND EASY TACO SOUP

Yet another of my mother's recipes I enjoyed as a kid! This is a tasty and flavorful soup that is easy to make and works as a great lunch or dinner meal. I can remember as a kid that I liked to pour the hot soup over the chips and cheese and play with the cheese as it melted (who says you can't play with your food?) I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I have and make good family memories with it.
