Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F for the baked tortilla strips. You’ll make these while the soup cooks.
2
|
Add olive oil to a large soup pot and cook the onions, poblanos, and jalapeños until they’re starting to get a little translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
|
Mix in the chipotle peppers in adobo, tomato paste, salt, and spices and cook for about a minute more.
4
|
Add the fire roasted tomatoes and broth and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
5
|
While the chicken is cooking, mix the cut tortilla strips, oil, and spices together and place the strips on an unlined baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool (they’ll crisp as they cool).
6
|
Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred it with 2 forks or chop it. Set the chicken aside.
7
|
With an immersion blender, blend the soup until mostly smooth. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and remove the soup from the heat.
8
|
Ladle it into your favorite soup bowl and top with the baked tortilla strips and your desired toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Roast Peppers for Deep Flavor 🔥
    Char poblano and jalapeño peppers directly on a gas flame or under the broiler to develop a smoky depth that elevates the soup's complexity.
  • Homemade Tortilla Strips Secret 🌽
    Cut corn tortillas into thin strips, lightly coat with neutral oil, and bake at 375°F until crispy for a fresher, crunchier topping than store-bought.
  • Chicken Poaching Technique 🍲
    Poach chicken breasts directly in the soup broth to infuse extra flavor and ensure the meat stays incredibly tender and moist.
  • Layered Spice Building 🌶️
    Toast cumin and chili powder in the pot before adding liquids to activate their essential oils and create a more intense, rounded spice profile.
  • Fresh Garnish Balance 🥑
    Add avocado, cilantro, and green onions just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and provide a fresh contrast to the warm, smoky soup.
