Chipotle Lime Soup


This recipe is one of our all time favorite soups. This recipe does have a good kick to it thanks to the Chipotles, but if you can handle the heat, it is so easy to throw together and is packed with flavor! 

Here's what you will need;

1 onion, chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
6-8 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, chopped
4 Chipotle chilies and 4 tablespoons adobo sauce*
6 cups chicken broth 
2 cups heavy cream
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
1 avocado
Sour cream
Crushed Tortilla chips

*the Chipotle chilies are really quite spicy, so you can half this to lower the heat

In a large pot or dutch oven add onion, garlic and olive oil, and saute. Push onion and garlic to the side of the pan and add chicken and cook. Once golden, add chipotle chilies, chicken broth, adobo sauce and heavy cream. Turn heat to low and simmer, uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Add lime juice. You can add the chopped cilantro at this point, or wait to add it to each serving along with sour cream, avocado and tortilla chips.

And that's it! Enjoy!

I got this recipe from my sweet Aunt. She made it for me once and I think I ate half the bowl all by myself. This stuff is amazing! Colorful, flavorful and fresh, and easy to whip up in a big batch to share! Perfect for summer BBQ's and picnics! 


Here's what you need


1 can black-eyed peas (drain and rinse)
1 can black beans (drain and rinse)
1 can corn (drain only and rinse)
1 cans Rotel tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4-5 chopped green onions
1 chopped fresh tomato
1 chopped green bell pepper
1, 16 oz bottle Wishbone Robusto Italian Dressing (
you will only need half the bottle, about 1 cup)
Garlic powder to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and stir in dressing. Allow to sit 4-24 hours before serving. It's better if you make it ahead and let it sit and absorb all the flavors overnight for maximum flavor. Serve by it's self or with tortilla chips.

*Wildflower's recommendation; make sure to buy all low sodium canned goods!

Enjoy!
