Columbian Chicken and Potato Soup image

I came across this recipe in Real Simple magazine. It's one of the best soups we've ever made. If you love a hint of lime in a broth, and the taste/aroma of cilantro and capers, this soup will give you a preview of heaven!

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cup(s) chicken broth, low salt
1 pound(s) chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
4 - corn cobbettes
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin
1 - onions, small white, thinly sliced
1 - celery stalk, thinly sliced
4 clove(s) garlic, thinly sliced
1 pound(s) potatoes
2 tablespoon(s) lime juice
1/4 teaspoon(s) oregano, dried
- kosher salt
- black pepper
1 - avocado, sliced
- cilantro, fresh

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Duth oven, combine the chicken broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and corn and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and corn from the saucepan and reserve.
  • Strain the cooking liquid into a large bowl or measuring cup and reserve.
  • Wipe out the saucepan and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic, and cook, sitrring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add the potatoes and reserved cooking liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shred the chicken and cut the corn pieces into 1-inch thick rounds. Return the chicken and corn to the soup.
  • Add the lime juice, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Serve the soup with avocado slices, sprigs of cilantro, capers and lime wedges.
