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
  • 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
  • 4 cups fresh corn cut off the cob (about 4-5 cobs)
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped sweet onion for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, chopped jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and cayenne; sauté another 2–3 minutes.
  2. Pour in chicken broth with whole chicken breasts and chopped green chiles. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Cut fresh corn off the cobs while the chicken simmers. Remove cooked chicken from the pot; shred or chop it before returning to the pot along with fresh corn.
  4. Stir in sour cream and shredded cheese. Sprinkle cornstarch while stirring rapidly to avoid clumping.
  5. Simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes until thickened; stir in lime juice before serving.
