When young, had a Mexican dish that had chicken and whole corn on the cob. Need recipe?

I believe it is a soup, perhaps a stew, I just know that the chicen was stewed and it had whole chunks of corn on the cob. Maybe some stewed tomatoes, onions and of course cumin, but I do not remember what else! Recipe needed now! I am making it as I type!When young, had a Mexican dish that had chicken and whole corn on the cob. Need recipe?
Caldo de Pollo?





2 tablespoons canola oil


1 medium onion, chopped


1 medium rib celery, chopped


2 garlic cloves, minced


1 tablespoon chili powder


1 teaspoon ground cumin


6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned


1/4 cup canned green chiles


1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels


4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped


1 teaspoon dried oregano


1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)


1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves


Juice of 1 lime


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper





Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.


Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.





Mexican's also have a side of Spanish rice and lemon/lime wedges to go with it. Add Spanich rice into your soup and squeeze some lemon or lime juice for some extra zing.
