Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Vegetables

    Stir in the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, and green chile. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken broth and add cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Shred Chicken

    Remove the chicken breast, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
