Southwestern Chicken Soup


Submitted by cc

Makes 8 servings

I usually prepare the chicken for this soup in a pressure cooker. I cook an entire 2.5 lb bag of whole chicken breasts in 8 cups water for half an hour, then remove half of the chicken for another recipe. I usually use water and 1 tbsp jarred chicken base rather than broth--I think it adds more flavor. I add the vegetables and spices after pressure cooking the chicken and simmer on medium until the vegetables are tender. Spices can be adjusted to taste.

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
8 cups chicken broth
14 oz tomatoes, red, ripe, canned
14 oz tomatoes, red, ripe, canned with green chilies

1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp cumin
1 salt to taste
1 pepper to taste
Directions
  1. Simmer chicken breasts in broth with a little salt until tender.

  2. Add sliced and diced vegetables and seasonings and simmer until vegetables are tender.
