Mexican Chili Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over high heat; saute rump roast until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic; saute until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves into meat and vegetables; cook and stir until meat and vegetables are coated in seasonings, about 2 minutes. Add beef stock, enchilada sauce, green chile peppers, and tomato paste; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until meat is tender, about 50 minutes.
• Stir pinto beans into soup, mashing beans to thicken if desired; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
• Cook the chicken on both side until done-- about 7-10 minutes per side.
• Cool the chicken until it can be handled.
• Do not rinse the pot.
• Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours.
• Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits.
• Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
• Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to a high heat. Toast the whole chillies, turning often to avoid burning (blackening). Remove the chilli seeds and stems, reserving them in case you want to increase the heat of the soup later. Soak the chillies in 1 cup of the stock for 10 minutes then blend the chilli and stock mixture until smooth in a food processor or blender.
• Char the onion slices and whole garlic clove all over. Peel the garlic clove after cooling a few minutes. Char the tomato slices then chop roughly.
• Blend the onion, tomato and peeled garlic clove with 2 cups of the stock until smooth and add to the chilli mixture.
• Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a pan then fry the chopped bacon. After a minute or two, add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Blend the bacon and mushroom mixture with the ricotta in the remaining cup of stock. Combine with the rest of the soup in a large pan and reheat for about 5 minutes. Serve garnished with the fresh coriander.

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, tomatoes with chiles, tomato paste, onion, chipotle pepper and red and yellow peppers. Stir, place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
• Stir in the lime juice. Remove the chicken to a plate and use 2 forks to break it into chunks (or shred it finely). Return the chicken to the pot, taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
• Serve piping hot in a bowl with avocado, sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips and cilantro leaves on top!

• Stir in the beans, tomatoes, stock, chillies, chocolate and plenty of salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer very gently for 1 hour, or longer if you have the time. (You can make it up to a day ahead to this point, then cool and chill.)
• Ladle into mugs or large cups and scatter with herbs, cheese and black pepper. You'll need spoons to eat it.
