Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the chicken
In a medium [large] sauce pot, add the chicken and enough lightly salted water to cover by 2 inches, making sure the chicken pieces are separated, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until opaque and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. Reserve 1 cup [2 cups] chicken cooking liquid. Wipe out the pot. While the chicken is cooking and cooling, prepare the remaining ingredients and start the soup.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
- Thinly slice half the lime into rounds and set aside for garnish; juice the remaining half. [Thinly slice 1 lime; juice the remaining lime.]
- Break the tortilla chips into small pieces.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
- If using the serrano, remove the stem; thinly slice the serrano crosswise. Wash your hands after handling.

Cook the soup
In the same pot used for the chicken, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and as much serrano as you like and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, reserved chicken cooking liquid, and shredded chicken and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper and the lime juice.
Serve
Transfer the soup to individual bowls. Garnish with the lime rounds, tortilla chips, and cilantro and serve.
