Creamy Green Chili Chicken Soup

Creamy Green Chili Chicken Soup

This is a long shot for Thailand as I am not sure of the chilies being here, but for the viewers in US, this should be real easy. Chilies used can be New Mexico green chilies or Poblano peppers. Not sure about using the large green chilies in Thailand, but they should work as well.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 2 cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
  • 4 New Mexico chilies, roated, OR Poblano peppers roasted
  • 2/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken and broth in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size. Remove from the heat. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board, leaving the broth in the pan. When cool enough to handle, shred or chop the chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • While the chicken is cooking, finely chop 2 chiles; puree the other 2 in a food processor or blender with 1/4 cup of the hot broth.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup of the broth in a bowl with wine and flour until smooth. Return the pan with the broth to medium heat and whisk in the flour mixture until well combined. Stir in the chopped and pureed chiles and the chicken. Add milk, garlic, lime juice, salt, white pepper, oregano, and cumin and heat, stirring frequently, until steaming and hot, but not boiling, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro. Serve.

Notes

This is low cost as the chicken breasts are just 30 Baht/500 grams.
Variants: Add cooked white beans, add roasted corn.
