Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound chicken tenders, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¾ pound chorizo sausage, diced
5 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped, or more to taste
6 small red potatoes, diced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, or more to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips, crushed
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a medium-to-large soup pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and chicken to the hot pot. Lightly brown chicken, about 2 minutes. Add chorizo and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, jalapeno peppers, and onion to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and hot sauce. Add chicken broth and bring to a bubble, about 5 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Reduce heat under soup and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Ladle soup into shallow, oven-proof bowls and top each with a generous handful of crushed tortilla chips and shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • Place bowls into the oven under the hot broiler until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Garnish each bowl with cilantro and green onions.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and the chicken was tough. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of soup, but this one is really good! The flavors are well-balanced and the chicken and chorizo are cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is a keeper! It's easy to make and always a hit with my family. I love that I can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to make it. It's also a great way to use up leftover tortillas.

Not a fan of this soup. The broth was too thin and the chicken was dry. I won't be making this again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Easy and delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The soup was flavorful and the chicken and chorizo were cooked perfectly. I served it with some sour cream and avocado and it was a hit!

Just made this soup and it was delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken and it made the soup extra flavorful. I also added some corn and black beans to give it a bit more substance. Will definitely be making this again!

This soup is a flavor explosion! The chicken and chorizo are perfectly cooked and the broth is rich and flavorful. I added a bit of extra spice with some cayenne pepper and it was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again!
