Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 Tbsp bacon grease or butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1½ Tbsp jalapeno, minced
½ c red bell pepper, diced
½ c celery, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
16 oz frozen bi-colored sweet corn, thawed
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½" cubes
3 Tbsp butter, softened
¾ c all purpose flour
32 oz chicken broth or stock
1½ c heavy cream
½ c mayonnaise
½ c sour cream
1 Tbsp lime juice
1½ Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro, divided
2 TBSP + 1 tsp https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/tacos-burritos-enchiladas/fiesta-spice-blend.html?r=1* divided
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried mexican oregano
¼ tsp celery salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp chili powder blend
¼ tsp ground chipotle
Salt and p to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, cut 3 TBSP butter into the flour and set aside. (small lumps are OK)
  • 2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sour cream, 1 TBSP Cilantro and lime juice, set aside.
  • 3. In a 4½-quart stock pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 TBSP bacon grease or butter over medium heat, add the onion and jalapeno and cook until onion is just starting to soften (2-3 minutes).
  • 4. Add celery, bell pepper and 1 TBSP fiesta spice blend and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened (onions will start turning translucent). Remove vegetables to a bowl and return pot to stove.
  • 5. In the same pot, add the chicken, 1 TBSP fiesta spice blend and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked thoroughly (5-7 minutes). Add chicken to the bowl of vegetables, try to keep some juice in the pot, and return pot to stove.
  • 6. Turn the heat down to medium low and add the butter and flour mixture. Heat and stir to keep it from sticking, and drizzle in chicken stock about a half cup at a time, fully incorporating it each time before adding more. Turn heat back up once you've added about half the stock.
  • 7. Once the stock is fully incorporated, add back the chicken and vegetables. Add the corn, 1 tsp fiesta spice blend, cumin, oregano, chili powder, chipotle and celery salt. Heat to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer stirring constantly for about 5 minutes.
  • 8. Slowly stir in the half and half and tomatoes and return to a boil. Simmer another 5 minutes.
  • 9. Add the sour cream mixture and stir well to combine. Remove from the heat and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • 10. Add remaining cilantro and salt and pepper to taste, stir again and serve hot.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some diced zucchini and it was delicious. The soup was very easy to make and it was ready in no time.
