Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
5 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro sprigs, tied together with kitchen string.
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder; stir 1 minute. Add chicken; stir 2 minutes.

(Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
  • Add chopped cilantro and lime juice to soup. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with sour cream.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your soup the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season to taste: Season your soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings until you get the flavor you want.

Conclusion:

Cilantro lime chicken and rice soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its bright, citrusy flavor and tender chicken and rice, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
