CREAMY GREEN CHILE SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine onions, garlic, 1 cup corn kernels, 2 cans of the chiles, chicken stock, and Mexican seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining corn and green chiles. Add mushrooms and saute for 10 minutes, or until water from mushrooms is released and evaporated; set aside.
• Transfer chile mixture to a blender. Puree until smooth, working in batches if necessary. *(TIP: Cover blender with dish towel and pulse.) Return puree to skillet and add sauteed vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and stir in Mexican crema. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup hot garnished with cilantro and cotija cheese.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Char the peppers over the stove burner flame until blackened all over. Place in a large bowl and cover tightly with a dish towel. Let cool. Peel and scrape off the blackened skins. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the leeks, potatoes and peppers and cook until the leeks are wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the flour and cook to remove the raw flour taste, about 2 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and nutmeg. Pour in the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a strong simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add the cream, chicken and corn. Return to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and flavorful, 10 to 15 minutes more. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt if needed.
• Serve the soup in bowls garnished with cilantro leaves and cotija.

GRILLED CHICKEN & GREEN CHILI SOUP W/CILANTRO CREAM

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, sauté all vegetables in the butter for about 10 minutes or until wilted. Add flour to make a roux, and then add hot chicken stock and remaining ingredients, except for last 6.
• Simmer for 30 minutes.
• For cilantro cream: Put all ingredients in a blender except for chopped scallions and blend until smooth. Put cream in a squeeze bottle or a baggie with one corner snipped off.
• Put soup in individual serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro cream and chopped scallions.

LOW FAT CHICKEN GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat and saute the onions for a few minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. If at any time during the saute the pan starts to dry, add a splash of chicken broth (up to 1/2 cup is set aside in the recipe for this step) and stir.
• When the onions and garlic are soft, add the rest of the broth, salt, pepper, salsa and chicken. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool.
• Stir in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Shred the chicken with two forks and add it back to the pot. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• We like to eat this topped with a little bit of reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of low fat sour cream.
