Tomatillo Soup
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the saucepan and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Add the onions and garlic to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatillos and jalapeño peppers. Add the broth and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return it to the pot and reheat. Add hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Shred the cooked chicken; stir it into the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the minced cilantro and ladle into bowls; top with sour cream if you like.
