✏️How to make Chipotle Chicken and Tomato Soup:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
-
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan(through cumin) and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
-
Partially mash the tomatoes and beans with a potato masher. Stir in the chicken; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the oil. Place 1¼ cups soup in each of four bowls. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons sour cream and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
➡️Recipe Tips:
- Leave the sauce on the chiles (rather than scraping it off) to create a rich, dark-colored soup.
- A good dollop of sour cream will cut the heat and feel free to use light sour cream if you prefer.
- Feel free to add in any vegetables you might like. I think some chopped zucchini thrown in near the end of cooking would be delicious.
- If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just be sure to use brands of beans, chicken broth and tomatoes that are known to be GF.
✔️What to serve with Chipotle Chicken and Tomato Soup:
- I love this soup with some sweet cornbread served on the side.
- It also goes nicely with my favorite salad, Avocado Pine Nut Salad.
- If you’re not counting calories and are in the mood for beer, you might want to pop open a bright pale ale or a pilsner.
★How to Store:
You’re not likely to have a lot of leftovers, so store any you do have in the refrigerator and enjoy for lunches within the next few days.
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- Chipotle is one of my favorite flavors (maybe it’s all those years I lived in SanDiego), and chipotle shines in this soup.
- I love that this soup only takes 40 minutes, start to finish. That’s a win for busy evenings.
- It’s so great for lunch that sometimes I make a batch just so I can have it for lunch all week.
