Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 31

For the chicken:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced into bite sized pieces
Freshly ground salt and pepper
For the corn chowder:
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced (can also use 1 seeded jalapeno)
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cups diced yukon gold potatoes
5 cups fresh sweet corn off the cob (can also use frozen)
1 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne (only if you like a little heat)
2 cups milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk, but dairy milk or coconut milk would also work)
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
⅓ cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
Juice from ½ lime
To garnish:
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Scallions
1/2 cup fresh diced cilantro
Diced avocado
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once chicken is done cooking, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add in onion, garlic, poblano, red bell pepper, potatoes and corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften a bit.
  • Next stir in spices and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas, then slowly stir in the milk, broth and yogurt (or sour cream), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • To give a creamy texture, blend approximately half of the soup (BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!) then return to the pot. Stir to incorporate and then taste and adjust seasonings -- adding in more salt and pepper if necessary. You can blend more if you like a creamier soup, but I love a little texture. Finally stir in the chicken, black beans and lime juice.
  • To serve, garnish with shredded cheese, scallions, cilantro, avocado and a swirl of sour cream (if not vegan). Makes 6 servings.

CHICKEN & SWEETCORN SOUP



Chicken & sweetcorn soup image

Make a stock from roast dinner leftovers to create this chicken and sweetcorn soup. The bone broth adds important minerals and it's low in fat and calories

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Soup, Starter

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 chicken carcass
4 thin slices fresh ginger, plus 1 tbsp finely grated
2 onions, quartered
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
325g can sweetcorn
3 spring onions, whites thinly sliced, greens sliced at an angle
100g cooked chicken, shredded
2 tsp tamari
2 eggs, beaten
few drops sesame oil, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil a large kettle of water. Break the carcass into a big non-stick pan and add the ginger slices, onion and two-thirds of the garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 2 mins - the meat will stick to the base of the pan, but this will add to the flavour. Pour in 1.5 litres of boiling water, stir in the vinegar, then cover and simmer for 2 hrs.
  • Put a large sieve over a bowl and pour through the contents of the pan. Measure the liquid in the bowl - you want around 450ml. If you have too much, return to the pan and boil with the lid off to reduce it. Transfer the onion from the sieve to a bowl with three-quarters of the sweetcorn. Blitz until smooth with a hand blender.
  • Return the broth to the pan, and tip in the puréed corn, remaining sweetcorn and garlic, the grated ginger, the whites of the spring onions and the chicken. Simmer for 5 mins, then stir in the tamari. Turn off the heat, and quickly drizzle in the egg, stirring a little to create egg threads. Season with pepper, then ladle into the bowls. Top with the spring onion greens and a few drops of sesame oil, if using.
