Jalapeņo Lime Chicken Soup
If you like spicy, big flavor. If you like topping options galore. If you like recipes that come together in a hot second.
YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PARTY.
INGREDIENTS- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 jalapeņos, ribs and seeds removed, minced
- half of a red onion, minced
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt (more as needed)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 14-ounce cans white beans, drained (canellini or great northern)
- 1 16-ounce jar salsa verde
- juice of 2 limes
- fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese for serving
INSTRUCTIONS- In a soup pot over medium heat, saute the onion and jalapeno with the olive oil until soft and fragrant.
- Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil. Add the raw chicken breasts. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, but leave the lid on so that the chicken continues cooking for another 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts, set aside to cool.
- Add the white beans and salsa to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat.
- Shred the chicken and add it back to the pot.
- Just before serving, squeeze the juice of one lime into the pot. Cut the remaining lime into wedges for serving. Add the salt; taste and adjust as needed. Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
NOTES- To remove any unwanted chicken fat in the broth after Step 2, pour the liquid through a fine sieve, reserving the liquid. Return the liquid to the pot over medium heat. You can also do this by just scraping across the top to remove any chicken fat.
- This is also delicious served with white rice IN it, or as a side. It helps offset the spiciness.
- Instant Pot: Place jalapeņos, red onion, water, salt, chicken, beans, and salsa verde in Instant Pot and cook on soup setting for 10 minutes with a quick release. Shred chicken and squeeze juice of 1 lime into the soup. Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
