Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Roma tomato diced
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 Anaheim pepper seeded and diced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves ground
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more to taste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 8 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup lime juice about 4 limes, freshly squeezed
For topping
- tortilla strips
- avocado diced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, onion, and peppers and cook until tender, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon, cloves, and kosher salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Scoop off and discard any impurities or foam that have floated to the top of the soup. Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and shred it with two forks.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir in the lime juice, taste, and season with more salt if needed.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with tortilla strips and diced avocado.
Notes
- To get the most juice out of your limes, roll them on the counter with your palm before cutting and juicing them.
- To get even more flavor in your broth, you can use bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks.
