For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water and bouillon cubes. Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, or black beans. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level. For a creamier soup, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large stockpot, combine the chicken pieces, water, celery, garlic, and onion. Bring to a boil over high heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepReduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is very tender, about 45 minutes.
03
StepRemove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Skim off any fat from the surface of the broth. Smash the cooked garlic cloves against the side of the pot to release more flavor. (5 minutes)
04
StepAdd the undrained diced tomatoes, cumin, cayenne pepper, white pepper, and bouillon cubes to the broth. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
05
StepStir in the corn, green onions, and half of the chopped cilantro. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
06
StepWhile the soup simmers, skin and bone the chicken. Dice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. (10 minutes)
07
StepAdd the shredded chicken and cooked rice to the soup. Heat through. Season with salt to taste. (5 minutes)
08
StepLadle the soup into bowls. Garnish with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, tortilla chips, and the remaining fresh cilantro.
