Mexican Chicken Soup

I was watching the Pioneer Woman's show on Food Network. She made a Tortilla soup and it gave me an inspiration to make my own Mexican Chicken Soup.

 

 

 

Mexican Chicken Soup

2 jalapeno

2 Tbs olive oil

½ onion, diced

4 zucchini, chopped

3 ribs celery, chopped

1 ½ cup shredded rotisserie chicken

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp ground oregano

½ tsp garlic powder

Roast the jalapeno until the skin blisters. Let cool, peel the skin and de-seed. Chop the jalapenos.

 

Heat olive oil and sauté onion until translucent. Add zucchini, celery, jalapeno and sauté until softened. Add chicken broth, tomatoes and rotisserie chicken. Add spices and simmer on low until vegetables are soft. Increase heat to high and add fideo. Cook until noodles are soft. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add cilantro leaves.
