Chicken Tomatillo Soup

October 11, 2019

This morning I awoke to a temperature below 90 degrees and you can bet that I immediately pulled out my boots and scarves while running around the house lighting candles and drinking apple cider made with happy tears. 

Fall has officially arrived in Texas. 

With the cooler temperature comes a wave of seasonal fruits and vegetables – from squash and pumpkins to delicious, juicy stone fruits. Fall is tart, sweet, rich, and savory. 

Our first soup of the season features tomatillos, which is in season from summer to fall, making this an ideal dish for October. This favorite recipe of ours comes from Lisa Allen’s blog: a chicken tomatillo soup. With hominy, chicken, and freshly made tomatillo salsa, this soup is light, simple, and filling. Easy to freeze and reheat, it’s great to make in batches!

Chicken Tomatillo Soup

Author Lisa Allen of Salty Lashes

Recipe Notes

For the soup:
4 stalks celery, diced
3 large carrots, diced
1 white onion, diced
2 cartons of chicken stock 
2 cups shredded chicken breast ( I used rotisserie )
1.5 cups fresh tomatillo salsa (see recipe below – or you can use pre-made)
1 28 oz. can hominy, drained
sliced avocados
limes
olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

For the tomatillo salsa:

1 bunch cilantro
8 tomatillos, cut into quarters
2 green heirloom tomatoes
6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 jalapeno
3-4 limes, juiced
1 medium white onion

 

For the soup:

Sauté your mirepoix (celery, carrots, onions) in a large pot with olive oil, about 5 minutes. Add your chicken stock and bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium and let it cook until all veggies are soft, about 8-10 mins. 

Add your chicken, can of hominy, and let everything simmer for an additional 20 mins. Right before you are ready to serve stir in your tomatillo salsa. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish will sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime.

For the tomatillo salsa:

Throw ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
