Southwestern Chicken Chili Soup
by swibirun
I wasn't sure if this was a soup or a chili, so I went with both. This hearty soup will warm you from the inside out.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves ; cut into 1/4 inch wide strips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon butter ; unsalted
- 1 cup onion ; diced
- 4 cloves garlic ; coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 can diced tomatoes and green chile
- 1 can corn kernels ; drained
- 1 can light red kidney beans ; rinsed and drained
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup cilantro ; chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried lemon peel
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat a large stock pot over medium high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Add butter and oil to pot and brown chicken for 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Add the diced onion and saute for 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Deglaze the pot with balsamic vinegar.
Return chicken and any juices to the pot.
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
NOTES
Avoid crowding the pot when browning chicken. If you can get all the chicken in with one layer, do it in two batches.
Garnish with crispy fried tortilla strips or masa dumplings
