    4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 medium Onion, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 jalapeños Jalapeños, seeded and minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped, divided
  • 3 Poblano Peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 2 quarts Chicken Stock, divided
  • 3 Chicken Breasts, grilled, chopped
  • 3 Carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 large head Cauliflower, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2-3 medium Limes
  • Salt
  • 1/4 cup Corn Flour, optional

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
  3. Saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add cumin, 1/2 of the cilantro, pobanos, and 1 quart of chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Blend using an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches to blend.
  5. Once pureed, add the chicken, carrots, cauliflower and 2 cups of chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Add the juice from 2 limes and a few generous pinches of salt, taste, then add the third lime if you think it needs additional lime juice as well as more salt, if needed.
  7. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and corn flour (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the corn flour to be incorporated into the soup.
  8. Serve with additional fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • You may also use grape seed in lieu of coconut oil.
  • Feel free to add more cilantro and lime wedges for serving.
