Ancho Chicken Tortilla Soup
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 red or orange bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 4 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Sour cream, chopped avocado, thinly sliced radishes, and fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
- Heat oil in a pot over medium-high. Add tortillas and cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomato paste, cumin, and chili powder; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in stock and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in chicken thighs. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool slightly. Meanwhile, continue simmering soup until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Working in batches, ladle soup into a blender and puree until smooth (alternately, puree with an immersion blender.) Return to saucepan. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and stir into soup. Cook over medium heat until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve soup with sour cream, avocado, radishes, and cilantro.
