Chicken part(s)

Step by step

1

Pull skin from chicken and remove fat. Pour broth into a large saucepan that will hold about 18 cups (4.5 L) and set over medium heat. Prepare onion, garlic and jalapeno and add to broth as soon as they are chopped. Stir in entire contents of the can of green chilies and seasonings. Then submerge chicken in soup, bone-side up. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.

2

Meanwhile prepare tomatoes. Coarsely chop green pepper and slice celery. When chicken has cooked 30 minutes, remove to a bowl. Stir tomatoes, green pepper, celery and juice of half a lime into the soup. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, strip chicken from the bone and either pull apart, shred or cut into little pieces. Prepare cilantro. After the soup’s final 20 minutes of cooking, stir in chicken and add cilantro. Taste and add salt and more lime juice if needed. Serve soup and pass sour cream for spooning over top and slices of lime for squeezing in more juice if you like.

Recipe note<p>Tomatillo Touch. Also known as” little tomato” and “green tomato”, tomatillos are a key ingredient in some Mexican soups - adding an authentic “green tart” taste. You’ve probably seem them looking like small green tomatoes enclosed by a green paper like husk. If you want to use them here, substitute 4 tomatillos for half of the tomatoes. Remove the husks and since they can have a sticky coating wash well. Chop and add to the broth at the same time you add the chicken.</p>
