Spicy tomatillo chicken soup with jalapeños and garlic - a flavorful Mexican classic.
Ingredients:
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound chopped tomatillos
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 0.5 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté onions and garlic until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatillos and jalapeño peppers, then pour in broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Blend soup in batches until smooth, then return to pot to reheat. Season with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper to your liking.
  • Mix the shredded cooked chicken into the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in minced cilantro and ladle the soup into bowls. Add a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
