It doesn't get any easier than this folks! Throw everything in one pot and let it heat up - soooo yummy! Pretty healthy too unless you add sour cream, cheese, and salt on top like I do. :-) We usually double or triple my recipe b/c this is a favorite! The proportions are easy to multiply too. This is also a great "base recipe"...

MEXICAN CHICKEN CHILI SOUP



Mexican Chicken Chili Soup image

This is Top Secret Recipes version of The Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili. The secret to this soup seems to be the long simmering time. If you like, you can substitute turkey breast for the chicken to make turkey chili.

Categories     Chicken

Time 5h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb chicken breast fillet (4 fillets)
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 potato, peeled & chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cup canned diced tomato
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, plus liquid
1/4 cup diced canned pimiento
1 jalapeno, diced
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash basil
1 dash oregano
sour cream
1 pinch chopped Italian parsley
grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
  • Cook the chicken on both side until done-- about 7-10 minutes per side.
  • Cool the chicken until it can be handled.
  • Do not rinse the pot.
  • Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours.
  • Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits.
  • Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
  • Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.

Time 2h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside.
