ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups sweet corn (fresh)
- 1 onion, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 dried chipotle chile
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
- 3 roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
- 2 small avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
- 2 limes, juiced
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 lb fried corn tortilla strips
- 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup cilantro, chopped, divided
directions
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium heat. Add corn and onion; cook until lightly caramelized. Add chicken broth and chipotle chile; let simmer 20 minutes over low heat. Add the tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard the chipotle chile.
- Place one-sixth of the tortilla strips in the center of six soup bowls; ladle soup around the crisps. Garnish with remaining cilantro and sour cream. Serve with a wedge of lime.
- This is the exact recipe -- I prefer to put avacado in just before serving -- so it is not warmed.
