Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 4 cups fresh corn cut off the cob (about 4–5 cobs)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 7 ounces chopped green chiles (mild or medium)
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, whole chicken breasts, and green chiles to the pot. Season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Cut corn off the cobs while the chicken simmers. Once cooked, remove chicken and shred it before returning it to the pot along with the corn.
- Stir in sour cream and shredded cheese. Sprinkle cornstarch over the top while stirring rapidly to prevent clumping.
- Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until thickened; mix in lime juice before serving.
