Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium boneless chicken breasts, (about 12 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Sour cream or Mexican crema, for serving
Chipotle hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

1. Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Add the onions, garlic, and bay leaf, cook stirring occasionally until the onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft around the edges, another 2 minutes. Scatter the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour is absorbed into the mixture, 1 minute.
2. Add the broth to the pot, whisking until smooth. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat and season with 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Once the soup boils, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, stir into the soup and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the cilantro and divide the soup into 4 serving bowls. Top each soup with sour cream and chipotle hot sauce as desired. Serve.

CHICKEN SOUP FOR A COLD

Chicken Soup for a Cold image

My mom always made this soup for me when I was sick. Now I make it for my family. The garlic and the lime are both really good for colds. As little salt as possible should be used.

1 chicken bouillon cube
salt and pepper
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup chopped carrot

Steps:

In a large pot add chicken, breast side down, onion, thyme, bay leaf, and garlic. Add enough water to cover; season with salt and pepper.

Remove chicken from pot, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Skim fat from surface of soup, if desired, and discard. Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Shred meat into bite-size pieces, and return to pot.
