Chicken and Potato Soup
CHICKEN AND POTATO SOUP
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts cooked (roughly cut, they don't need to look perfect). I cooked mine in the oven on about 350 for around 30 minutes with a little olive oil spray and seasoned with Trader Joe's 'Everyday Seasoning'. Alternatively, to make this a one-pot dish, use a pre-roasted chicken from the grocery store.
- 5 baking potatoes (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 3 serrano chiles - finely chopped
- 3 cups green cabbage - chopped
- 2 cups corn kernels (I steamed corn and then using a knife sliced the kernels off the cob)
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- cilantro
- salt & pepper
Add the 10 cups of chicken stock to a large pot with the potato, onion and garlic. Bring to the boil. Once you can put a fork in the potatoes, but they are not mushy, add the remainder of the ingredients. Turn the heat down to about medium and cook for a further 10 minutes.
