I always grill to much sweet corn...this is a good thing because I use it in everything from salsas to pastas. Another of my favorite uses for leftover grilled corn is this soup--it is my favorite tortilla soup of all time (and I've made many)! I have a pot on for dinner now! Enjoy!
AMY’S HONEY LIME TORTILLA CHICKEN SOUP
1 Rotisseri chicken, skin removed & shredded
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon spicy chili sauce, or to taste (like sambal olek)
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
1 pound vine ripened tomatoes, cut in half and seeded
4 poblano (or a mixture of Anaheim and poblano)
1 jalapeno (optional)
2-4 ears white corn grilled in the husk (if indoor grill pan, remove the husk)
6 cups chicken stock
Salt to taste
Toppings:
1/2 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
2 limes cut into wedges
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Tortilla chips, corn or blue corn
In a bowl combine the chicken with the lime juice,
olive oil, honey, chili sauce, and garlic, mix well. Cover
and refrigerate at least 15 minutes but not longer than
8 hours.
Heat an outdoor grill or an iron grill pan indoors over medium high heat until very
hot. Grill the tomatoes, chilies, and the corn until they
are lightly charred. Chop the tomatoes. Seed, stem
and cut the chilies into 1-inch long strips. Remove the
corn kernels from the cob with a knife.
In a saucepan heat the chicken stock, over medium
heat to a simmer, stir in the tomatoes, chilies, and corn
and return to a simmer. Stir in the chicken, taste and
adjust the seasoning adding the salt. Serve the soup
with the tortilla strips, crumbled goat cheese, avocado
slices, chopped cilantro and wedges of lime.
Yum! This sounds awesome and all I need is the pablano peppers, an avacado and tortilla chips! I'm totally making this tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I use to make spicy chili sauce... or can I substitute? I hate to buy something and then not really use it much.
