Chicken-Corn Tortilla Soup
Using bone-in chicken thighs in this soup ensures the meat stays moist over the long cooking time. Not only are chicken thighs inherently juicier than breast meat, but cooking chicken on the bone also helps it stay succulent.

Chicken-Corn Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

Directions

  • Combine onion, Anaheim (or jalapeño) pepper, bell pepper and garlic in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange chicken over the vegetables. Add broth, water, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, coriander, salt and bay leaves. Cover and cook on High for 3 1/2 hours or on Low for 8 hours.

  • Carefully transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board. Shred with 2 forks (discard the bones).

  • Meanwhile, stir tortilla chips and corn into the slow cooker. If using the Low setting, turn to High. Cover and cook for 30 minutes more.

  • Stir the soup, breaking up any remaining pieces of tortilla chips. Stir in the chicken, lime zest and lime juice. Serve the soup with more tortilla chips, avocado, cheese, sour cream and/or lime wedges, if desired.

Tips

Tip: Anaheim chiles are bright, fresh and peppery. They bring a little bit of heat to the table, but not too much. If you want more fire, use jalapeños instead.

Tips

To make ahead: Chop onion, peppers and garlic and combine. Combine broth, water, tomatoes and spices. Refrigerate in separate containers for up to 1 day.
