minutesThis soup is perfect for a cold snowy day, but is great for mild temperatures as well. It’s creamy and fresh, and fills the soul! It’s simple to make, and the flavor packs a punch!
You will need cooked chicken for this recipe. I recommend cooking frozen chicken thighs in the pressure cooker! It’s simple and delicious! If you’d rather use fresh chicken thighs or chicken breasts, just cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and saute with an onion in a large cast iron dutch oven. Either way works great! You could also use a rotisserie chicken if you’re in a rush.

6 frozen chicken thighs
1 quart chicken bone broth, separated
Real Salt & Real Garlic Pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup whipping cream
Salt and pepper to taste

- Place 6 frozen chicken thighs in pressure cooker, and add 1 1/2 cups chicken bone broth. Season with salt and garlic pepper.
- Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, then let it natural release for 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Save the broth!

- Directions for Soup

- Heat to medium high, when hot add the onions and saute.
- When onions are nearly done, add the garlic and green chili’s and saute another 1-2 minutes.
- Using a strainer, strain the chicken broth to catch any fat remnants and pour the broth into the dutch oven.
- Add the remaining broth from the 1 quart box.

Notes
- I like to use Real salt and Real Garlic pepper, but of course you can use table salt, pepper and a little bit of garlic powder.
- If you don’t have a fresh lime, 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice works great!
