I love to cook, but when I'm feeling lazy I normally turn to a soup recipe that I can put on and we can eat whenever we feel like it. Last night I mixed up a wonderful chicken soup with some stuff I had in my cupboard and I think it was the best chicken soup I have ever had. It has a little spice to it, and I'm a bit of a "spice wimp", so I added a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheddar cheese, Pete added tabasco!
Green Chile Chicken Soup Recipe
2 Tbl olive oil 2 organic carrots, chopped
2 organic chicken breast 1 can of corn
1 medium onion, chopped 1 Tbl cumin
2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp thyme
1 can rotel tomatoes 1 tsp marjoram
1 can whole green chiles, 4 oz, chopped 1 tsp oregano
2 cups chicken broth
2 stalks of celery, diced
2 medium potatoes, cubed
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and chicken. Cook until chicken is browned, remove chicken and cut into small pieces. Add to the onion and garlic the carrots, celery, cumin, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and cook over medium to low heat for five minutes then return the chicken and add all the other ingredients. Cook for two hours, checking to see if water is needed. The consistency is almost stew like, so do not add too much water. Serve with a warm sourdough bread on the side.
Serves 4
