Why Poach chicken?

Poaching is one of many great ways to prepare chicken, however, for soup, it is a particularly good method. Poaching allows the protein in the chicken to cook without losing moisture. Thus you are guaranteed to have juicy and tender chicken as your end result. And because the chicken will be so tender, it will be much easier to shred.

As the chicken cooks, it will get infused with the rich flavours of garlic, red chilli, coriander and cumin. And this flavour won’t get lost once the chicken is cooked, as the liquid will be added to the soup.

If you are not a fan of spiciness, feel free to leave the chilli out of the recipe.

Traditional Mexican flavours in a soup

For the rest of the soup, traditional Mexican flavours and ingredients will be added, such as corn, beans and lime juice. These ingredients will also thicken the sauce and give it a creamier texture.

The flavours of the garam masala, cumin, and whole pepper bring warmth and a rich taste to the soup that blends beautifully with the flavour of the chicken.

And to top it all off, serve this deliciously fragrant dish with fresh and crispy tortilla, and garnish the soup with feta and coriander.
