Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the chicken; start the soup
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the Santa Fe spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2
Cook and shred the chicken
Add the chicken, tomatoes, and 2¼ cups [4½ cups] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. While the chicken is cooling, continue cooking the tomato broth at a low simmer and prepare the garnishes.
3
Prep the garnishes; finish the soup
- Cut the lime into wedges.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
- Crumble the queso fresco if needed.
To the pot with the tomato broth, stir in the shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the soup to individual bowls. Garnish with the queso fresco, tortilla chips, and cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.
