Mexican Chicken Chili - a hearty and delicious soup recipe.
 
I got this chicken chili recipe a few years ago from a cooking segment on a local tv news program. The original title is “Soup Nazi’s Mexican Chicken Chili”. If you are a Seinfeld fan, you will think this is funny. If you aren’t, I didn’t want you to think I have some sort of sick fondness for Nazi’s. Because I absolutely don’t. That would be wrong.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 8-10 cups water (depending on how thick you like it)
  • 3 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 8oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 15oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely diced (or 1 can of diced green chilies)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1-2 tsp cumin (I like 2)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown chicken in a large stock pot. Remove and shred. Return to pan and add all but the last 3 ingredients. (I usually start with 8 cups of water and add more later if I want it more brothy.) The pan will be very full!
  2. Bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer uncovered, for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally. The soup will thicken and reduce, leaving more room in the pot. If it is getting too dry, you can add more water.
  3. Add the beans and corn; heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

-Sometimes I add an extra can of beans, to make this a little more like chili.

-Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
