2 T Olive Oil
I Onion chopped
2 stalks Celery chopped

Fragrant Chicken Soup with Chickpeas and Vegetables image

This substantial soup is zippier than the usual matzo-ball-type golden chicken soup. It has a rich tomato base that is laced with fragrant spices - turmeric, cinnamon, paprika, ginger, nutmeg and cayenne - and it's loaded with hearty vegetables.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 celery stalks, diced

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, more for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large soup pot over high heat. Add onion and salt and sauté until limp, 3 minutes. Add all spices and sauté until they release their fragrance, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and sauté another minute, until darkened but not burned. (If tomato paste looks too dark too quickly, lower heat.)
  • Add celery, turnip and sweet potato and continue to sauté until celery starts to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Return heat to high if you lowered it, and add broth to pot. Bring to a simmer, then add chicken. Partially cover pot, lower heat to medium low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas and cilantro to pot and continue simmering until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in the lemon juice and more salt if desired, and serve garnished with cilantro and lemon wedges.

BROTHY CHICKEN SOUP WITH HOMINY AND POBLANO



Brothy Chicken Soup With Hominy and Poblano image

This vibrant, hearty weeknight chicken soup is reminiscent of pozole, and achieved in record time. It starts with a base of onion and poblano pepper spiced with cumin, coriander and oregano. Broth is added, chicken thighs are simmered, then shredded, and cooked hominy is added for heft (though cooked rice would work equally well). The toppings stray from tradition: Crumbled tortilla chips provide crunch, as do snappy radishes; richness comes in the form of avocado or sour cream. Lay out bowls filled with various garnishes and let guests assemble as they like.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 large poblano chile, deseeded and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 (15-ounce) can hominy, drained and rinsed, or 2 cups cooked rice
1 lime, quartered, for serving
Crumbled tortilla chips, thinly sliced radishes, diced avocado, roughly chopped cilantro, thinly sliced scallions or sour cream, for garnishing

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened without taking on any color, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and spices are fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Add the stock and chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chicken has cooked through and is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat.
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the hominy and allow everything to simmer together for 5 to 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into soup bowls. Serve with limes, for squeezing on top, and bowls of optional garnishes.
