Instructions
- Start by seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, remove it from the pot and set aside to cool.
- In the same pot, add chopped onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they're soft. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, followed by the cumin. Mix everything well and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the broth is simmering, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Once the soup has simmered, add the chicken back into the pot along with the corn.
- Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Before serving, squeeze in some lime juice for a fresh kick. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
