Canteen Chicken Soup is a fun twist on the classic chicken soup. The addition of Southwestern items such as green chilies, corn, bell pepper, and salsa add a bit of punch and sinus-clearing power!

What You'll Need

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 4 ounces can of green chilies, chopped
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup broken-up baked tortilla chips

What to Do

  1. In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, pepper, and garlic, and cook about 3 minutes, or until chicken is browned on outside, stirring frequently.
     
  2. Stir in chicken broth, corn, chilies, salsa and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
     
  3. Stir in cilantro, ladle into bowls, and serve topped with tortilla chips.

I do this style of soup often. I use a can of tomatoes green chiles instead of the diced chiles and also add a coarsely chopped onion. Grated Monterrey Jack over the tortilla chips and sometimes a dab of sour cream (or creme fresh) when serving gives it a truly Tex-Mex taste. We call it Tortilla Soup.

Everyone wants to know how we can add this to our box, including me! I have a tendency to forget to hunt for it. We are having Mexican pot luck at our church, and this would be just the one to start the meal!
