Arrrrrriba Arrrriba, I’m in the mood for a little Mexican party and we’re going to prepare a Fiesta Chicken Soup. In this recipe, I’m going to use fresh ingredients combined with the smokiness of Mexican chili and cumin. I’m using large red Mexican chilies, these can be purchased dried and I’m simply going to powder this in my food processor. If you can’t find regular Mexican dried chilies, you can substitute guajillo, ancho or even chipotle dried peppers. You can even just use Mexican chili or chipotle powder.
This soup is great as is, but even better garnished with a dollop of sour cream, some cheese and some fresh Pico de Gallo. If I have any leftovers I heat it up in a pan and poach my eggs in them as a great kick start to the day.
Ingredients
1 medium finely diced red onion
4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 dried New Mexico red chili, powdered
1 tsp cumin powder
1 chicken breast diced
Salt & pepper
3 tomatoes, blanched and pureed
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup black beans
1/4 cup green diced peppers
2 cobs of corn roasted and de husked
Garnish – sour Cream, Pico de Gallo & Mexican shredded cheese
Process
Heat some oil and saute the onion
Add the garlic followed by the chili powder and cumin
