A simple and quick hearty soup recipe that can be enjoyed as a meal, or an appetizer!
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp chipotle puree
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup whole corn kernels, cooked
1 cup white hominy
1 4 ounce can chopped green chile peppers
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
6 cups chicken stock
2 limes, juiced
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
Garnish
toasted tortilla chips or tostadas
1 avocado, sliced
1 small red onion, chopped
monterey jack cheese, shredded
fresh parsley or cilantro
Directions
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper (to taste) and cook for about 5 minutes or until onions are softened.
- Add the chipotle, cumin, chili powder, oregano, tomatoes, and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in corn, hominy, chiles, and black beans. Add the lime juice and shredded chicken and stir through. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Ladle into small bowls and top with a few pieces each of tortilla strips, avocado, onion and Monterey jack and parsley (or cilantro).
Notes
For the shredded chicken you can poach skinless chicken breasts in stock or bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Or use a roast chicken from the deli counter at the grocery store.
To make toasted tortilla chips, preheat oven to 200ºC (400ºF). Use a pair of scissors to cut the tortillas into 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick strips. Place on a baking tray, brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted and crunchy. Cool on tray.

Martha Stewart certainly knew how to make an entrance this week when she visited Conan. After entering regally on a large Conan-ized Mardi Gras float, she shared her killer New Orleans style Gumbo recipe and made some Sazerac’s, a wild Mardi Gras drink.
Here’s Martha’s recipe for the perfect Sazerac:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Absinthe
- Ice
- 2 ounces rye whiskey, preferably Sazerac rye or Old Overholt
- 1/2 teaspoon Simple Syrup
- 4 to 5 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
- 2 dashed Angostura bitters
- 1 lemon twist, white pith removed, for garnish
Directions
- Pour Absinthe into a rocks glass; swirl to coat. Pour out any excess Absinthe; fill glass with ice to chill.
- Place rye, simple syrup, and bitters in a cocktail shaker; fill with ice. Cover and shake vigorously.
- Discard ice from rocks glass and strain rye mixture into glass. Rub rim of glass with lemon twist and add to cocktail; serve immediately.
The Last Four Weeks
Four weeks ago we launched foodea.com in private beta to family and friends at a wonderful get together.
With only a small bit of content, the guys and I showed them the fruit of nearly a year’s worth of work.
The initial response to foodea.com has been amazing and we have been working hard to improve the site.
We now have over seventy recipes, and twenty user videos.
Thanks to everyone for contributing so far!
