Serves 2 people
Categories: Gluten-Free, Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 tbsp. Ginger Root
- 1 tsp. Jalapeno Peppers, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder,
- 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup Natural Chunky Peanut Butter
- 1 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
- 1/2 Tbsp. Cider Vinegar
- Chicken Breast, Cooked, Diced, 1 1/2 cups
- 1 large scallion
- 1 can fire roasted ortega green chiles
Directions
-
Finely chop the red onion, ginger, and jalapeno, and roughly chop the chicken. Heat oil in a heavy pan, add finely diced onion, ginger, and jalapenos, season with salt, and saute about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder, stir into other ingredients, and saute about 1 minute more.
-
Add chicken stock, peanut butter, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, stir, and bring to a slight boil. As soon as it starts to boil, lower heat to a very gentle simmer, add roughly chopped chicken and green chiles, gently stir to combine, and let simmer 10-15 minutes. (Resist the urge to stir it very much, or the chicken will shred apart, which you don’t want here.)
-
While mixture simmers, wash, dry, and slice green onions. After 10-15 minutes, gently stir again if the oil from the peanut butter has separated. Serve hot, with a generous handful of green onion slices on each serving.
