Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups chicken stock
1 lb chicken tenders
1 bay leaf, fresh if available
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
4 slices bacon, smoky thick center cut, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sauce
1 (28 ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
salt
4 cups lightly crushed corn tortilla chips
2 cups shredded fresh smoked mozzarella cheese or 2 cups smoked sharp white cheddar cheese, 3/4 pound
1 lime, cut into wedges
1/2 red onion, chopped
freshly chopped cilantro leaf, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer and add chicken tenders, poach 6 to 7 minutes with a bay leaf.
  • While chicken poaches, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a medium soup pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp then remove with slotted spoon. Drain off excess fat, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in the pan. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and cook 5 minutes then stir in chipotles and tomatoes.
  • Remove chicken from stock, dice and then add to soup. Pass stock through a strainer then add to the soup.
  • Place a pile of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of each soup bowl. Cover liberally with smoked cheese then ladle the hot soup down over the top. Serve with lime, raw onions and cilantro at table to finish the soup.
