Spicy Cream of Chicken Soup

I started to make my chicken chipotle soup and decided to give this recipe a little twist with some coconut milk.  It turned out so DELICIOUS!  


Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 4 skinless boneless thighs, cut into 1/2 in" pieces 
  • Canned 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 2 tbsp adobo sauce from can -Be careful to buy the non gluten brands.  Some have flour in them.  Use less if you don't want the recipe as spicy.
  • 7 cups broth - I use homemade chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Himalayan Sea Salt and Black pepper – To Taste
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper
  • 3 Roma Tomatoes 
  • 3 tbsp Hemp Seeds(optional)
  • 1 bunch swiss chard (diced)
  • 1 can Native Forest Coconut Milk
Directions:
  • In large stockpot, heat coconut oil medium-high heat. Stir in onion, garlic & swiss chard, lower the heat medium and cook until onion begins to brown - about 7 min
  • Increase the heat to high, push the veggies to the side of the pan, add the chicken and cook, stirring until golden, about 5 min. 

  • Add chopped bell pepper, tomato, chipotles & hemp seeds. Stir in adobo sauce & chicken broth

  • Simmer on med-low heat for 15-20 min
  • Stir in cilantro, coconut milk & season w/ sea salt & black pepper(to taste) and simmer an additional 5-10min
  • Remove from heat and serve up and garnish with avocado

  1. just discovered chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and used them in a flank steak marinade last weekend. I'm not a spicy girl and whoo-hoo - knocked my socks off! but very tasty! i may have to try this one but it won't be for the kids :)

  2. They defnitely kick up the heat that's for sure!! I love em! Maybe make the soup without adding the chipotle for the kids, and once you serve theirs up add the chipotle and cook another 5-10 min for the adults. Best of both worlds! =D
