Scrumptious shredded chicken swimming in a flavorful broth along with add in's that are completely customizable depending on your favorites or what you have on hand. The crunchy tortilla strips are the chef's kiss along with the other flavors and textures. When I prepare my Tomatillo Chicken, the leftover broth is scrumptious, so it's great as a base for this soup.

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add broth, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic, onion, pepper and chipotle powder to a medium sized saucepan, whisk to combine. Add green chiles, lime juice and cilantro, stirring to fully incorporate. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice as desired.
Once broth is seasoned to your liking, add chicken, corn, beans and carrots, stirring gently to combine. I like to keep the stirring to a minimum now since the chicken will fall apart very easily, a personal preference.
Simmer over a low heat to allow the add ins to warm up, then ladle into bowls to serve.
Add toppings as desired and enjoy!
