Caldo Tlalpeno
- 1 (32 ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 (10 ounce) can vegetable broth
- 1 (4 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 (10 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
- 1 -2 cup shredded cooked chicken (optional)
- fresh cilantro (if you can find it) or epazote (if you can find it)
- In a large stockpot, combine chicken broth, vegetable broth and approximately 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Add rice and simmer, covered, until rice is done, about 20 minutes.
- Empty can of chipotle peppers with sauce into blender and blend until very smooth.
- Using a small strainer, carefully strain about 1-2 tablespoons of chipotle mixture into soup. Be careful with this & test broth as you mix peppers in, it makes broth VERY spicy!

- Garnish soup with cilantro or epazote leaves and enjoy!
