Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs and thighs
5 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 dried guajillo chile, seeded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
1 small Spanish onion, diced
Crispy corn tortilla strips, for garnish
1/2 cup guacamole, store-bought or homemade
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Combine the chicken legs and thighs, chicken stock, olive oil, garlic and chile in a pot over high heat. Season lightly with salt and bring just to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked though, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Broil until tender and very caramelized, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the soup and let cool slightly. Discard the skin and shred the meat.
- Add the tomatoes to the soup and simmer for 4 minutes, then blend the solids into the stock with an immersion blender. Add the shredded chicken back into the soup along with the onions. Simmer for another 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the soup into bowls and garnish with tortilla strips, guacamole, cilantro and sour cream.
