INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large onion peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cans Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles (4.5-ounce cans)
- 14.5 ounces crushed tomatoes “fire roasted”
- 3 quaers Chicken Stock
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon red pepper crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 21/2 cups sliced carrots
- 4 cups Chopped Cabbage
- 3 cups small broccoli florets
- 2 medium avocados peeled and diced
- salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set a large 6-8 quart pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, chopped onions, and garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes to soften. Then add whole raw chicken breasts, Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, all the spices, carrots, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20+ minutes, until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Then remove the chicken with tongs and set them on a cutting board to cool.
- Add the chopped cabbage and broccoli to the pot. Continue to simmer to soften the broccoli. Meanwhile, shred the chicken breasts with two forks, and stir it back into the soup. Once the broccoli is tender, taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm with a generous amount of diced avocado on top!
Notes
If the soup base boils down too much, add 2-3 cups of water to the broth. Then taste for seasoning.
