Mexican Chicken Lime Soup


Original recipe can be found here

So I made this soup on a chilly day which was a perfect soup day.
I however cannot read properly so I bought two cans of chipotle chilies (NOTE IT SAYS TWO CHILES NOT TWO CANS!!)



Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1  onion, finely chopped
  • cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
  • cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt and pepper
  • hass avocado, thinly sliced lengthwise into 12 pieces
  • Crushed tortilla chips
Directions
  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, lower the heat to medium and cook until the onion begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Increase the heat to high, push the vegetables to the side of the pan, add the chicken and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chipotles and adobo sauce, then stir in the chicken broth. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, skimming any foam. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place 2 avocado slices in each of 6 soup bowls and pour in the soup. Top with the tortilla chips.


It was delicious even though I put in about 4xs the chipotles and I had to leave out the garlic for my MIL. It will definitely be making repeat appearances in the future.
