Method
Preparation
- Remove the meat from the rotisserie chickens, discard the skin and bones, and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken into a large pot or Dutch oven.
Cooking
- Pour in the 2 quarts of chicken broth, blending it with the chicken.
- Slice the Anaheim or Poblano chile in half lengthwise, remove the stem and seeds. Brush the cut sides with oil and broil on a foil-lined baking sheet until blackened.
- Place the blackened chile halves in a plastic bag to steam for a few minutes, then peel and dice the chile, and add it to the pot.
- Add the corn kernels, pico de gallo, carrots, celery, cumin, oregano, coriander, and granulated garlic to the pot, stir, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top generously with crispy corn tortilla strips and optional garnishes.
Making Tortilla Strips
- Cut 8 corn tortillas into 1/2 inch strips, fry in 2 cups of vegetable oil at 360 degrees until crispy and light brown, about 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
If you prefer a spicier soup, consider adding jalapeños or extra chili powder. Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor. This soup can be a great option for meal prepping.
