Mexican Chicken Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat. Cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions start to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add rice, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid. Simmer until rice is nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes and roast until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skin and transfer to a blender. Add onion, garlic, and bouillon. Process tomato mixture until smooth.
• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour tomato mixture into hot oil; cook and stir until flavors incorporate, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to the saucepan with the rice. Season with salt and cover with a lid. Continue cooking over low heat until rice is soft, 7 to 10 minutes more. Remove from heat. Sprinkle Cotija cheese and parsley on top, cover with a lid, and let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Bring stock to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken legs; return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, skimming away foam that forms on the surface. Add carrots, onion, celery, cilantro, garlic, and mint.
• Cover pot and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. Remove chicken from the pot; discard skin and bones. Shred meat using 2 forks.
• Return chicken meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Add rice. Let chicken and rice warm up, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour soup into serving bowls. Top with avocado and serrano peppers and squeeze in lime juice.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken with the stock in a soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 30 minutes. Add the vegetables and rice and cook 20 minutes longer.
• Cool the chicken in the stock. Lift out the chicken and remove and discard the skin and bones. Shred the chicken and return to the pot. Stir in the lime juice and epazote or mint and reheat the soup. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the chicken green pepper and onion in oil until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the corn, broth, salsa, salt, chili powder if desired and pepper; bring to a boil., Stir in the rice; cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
