Chicken Lime Soup

This is my new favourite soup recipe! I made a batch this week for lunches and absolutely love it. Its a hearty soup that's full of flavour and definitely fills you up. 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil 

1 medium onion (diced)

2 stalks celery (diced)

1 medium jalapeno or a few pre cut jalapeno slices from a jar (diced)

4 cloves garlic (diced)

2 chicken breasts

6 cups chicken stock/broth

1 can diced tomatoes with chiles

1 teaspoon oregano 

½ tablespoon cumin 

The juice of 1 medium lime

½ bunch coriander/cilantro (roughly chopped)

Method

Shredded chicken

1. Dice the onion, celery, garlic, and jalapeno (scrape the seeds out of the jalapeno before dicing) then cook the onion, celery, jalapeno, and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tender.

2. Add the chicken breasts (whole), chicken stock, canned tomatoes with chiles, oregano, and cumin to the pot. 

3. Bring the whole pot up to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on top, and let simmer for one hour.

4. After simmering for an hour with a lid on, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot and use two forks to shred the meat. 

5. Return the shredded meat to the pot and squeeze the lime juice into the soup. 

6. Roughly chop the coriander and add to the pot, give it a quick stir, and serve.
