Ingredients
- 3 Long green chiles
- 1 lb (about 12) tomatillos,
- 1/2 c Water
- 1 Garlic clove, peeled and
- 3/4 ts Salt
- 1/2 c Finely chopped white onion
- 1/4 c Minced cilantro
Instructions
In the open flame of a gas burner or under a preheated broiler, roast the long green chiles, turning them, until they are lightly but evenly charred. Steam the chiles in a paper bag, or in a bowl, covered with a plate, until cool. Rub away the burned peel. Stem and seed the chiles and coarsely chop them. There should be about 1/2 cup. In a medium saucepan, cover the tomatillos with water. Set the pan over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and cool them. In a blender, combine the tomatillos, green chiles, water, garlic, and salt, and puree on high speed until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the onions and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Adjust the seasoning. The salsa can be prepared up to 2 days ahead without loss of flavor or texture.

“This is a great soup that can be spiced up or tamed down depending on your individual taste. Keep in mind that you if can not purchase fresh tomatillos at your local grocery store you can substitute with canned tomatillos, drained and chopped. Try garnishing with sour cream, as indicated in the recipe. Top with a leaf of cilantro.”
6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – pounded thin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound chopped tomatillos
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Heat oil over high heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Saute chicken in oil until both sides are browned, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside.
- Add onions and garlic to saucepan, and saute until golden. Stir in the tomatillos, jalapeno peppers, and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover the pot, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Puree vegetables in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to pot, and reheat. At this point taste the soup; if not piquant enough, add cayenne pepper or pepper sauce.
- Slice the chicken into thin slices, and then shred. Stir into soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When ready to serve, stir in the minced cilantro and ladle into bowls. Put a dollop of sour cream on top of each portion, and let it melt a bit. Top each dollop with a single cilantro leaf, and serve immediately.
