Ingredients
-
2 medium onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 (4-ounce) can green chilies, chopped
2 (15-ounce) cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes, chopped (keep the juice)
3/4 cup cooked or canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 chicken breast (approx. 8 oz)
9 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot sauce or to taste
1/2 cup masa harina
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional garnishes:
Shredded cheese
tortilla strips
cilantro
sour cream
Directions
In a large pot or dutch oven, canola oil over medium-low heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook, covered, for 5 minutes until onions are translucent. Add chiles, chili powder, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about two minutes. Add tomatoes and their juice, 8 cups chicken stock, beans, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil. Add chicken breast, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the soup and chop or shred. Return chicken to pot.
In a small bowl, combine masa harina and the remaining 1 cup chicken broth (you can substitute water here). Whisk into soup. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with garnishes, if desired.
