Mexican Chicken And Rice Soup Recipes

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:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place tomatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and let cool briefly. Peel and place in a blender; add onion, chipotle peppers, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Strain mixture, discarding solids, for the sauce.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and celery; saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in blended tomato sauce. Add chicken broth and bouillon. Cook and stir until carrot and celery are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Add peas and chicken breast; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve soup over a spoonful of rice; top with avocado slices and Monterey Jack cheese.

Steps:

• Put stock in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over med-high heat. Add rice, some salt and pepper; lower heat so that it just bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine vegetables with chicken, lime juice, cilantro and chiles (if using). Put in the bottom of one large bowl or 4 small ones.
• When the soup is ready, ladle it over the stuff in the bowls. Taste; adjust seasoning if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut the tortillas into 1/4 inch strips.
• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over med.-high heat. Fry the tortilla strips until crunchy. Drain and set aside.
• In a soup pot, melt the butter over med. heat. Saute the onion, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic in the butter until the tomatoes are soft. Add the chicken broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the rice and seasonings. Boil until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat. Add the chicken and simmer for 15 minutes. If the rice absorbs too much of the liquid, add more chicken broth.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with tortilla strips and cheese before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5 mins. Throw in the pepper and cook for 2 mins more, then add the sweetcorn, chipotle paste and rice. Stir well and cook for 1-2 mins.
• Add the black beans and the stock. Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer, then add half the chicken and coriander. Cool for 2-3 mins, then ladle into bowls.
• Scatter over the rest of the chicken and coriander. Serve with a dollop each of guacamole and soured cream on top if you like.
