Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 to 4 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and diced
- 6 to 8 ears corn on the cob, kernels cut from cob
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 6 to 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chicken base (such as Better Than Bouillon)
- A few dashes hot sauce of choice
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- Optional toppings: more cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, lime wedges
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add diced onion, jalapenos, corn, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until veggies soften and onion is translucent.
- Add minced garlic and ground chicken. Mix in chili powder, paprika, cumin, and adjust salt and pepper. Cook for another 7 to 9 minutes, breaking up the chicken as it browns.
- Pour in chicken broth and stir in chicken base. Raise the heat to bring it to a gentle boil, then lower to medium-low. Let it simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes to thicken and blend flavors.
- Mix in hot sauce, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring gently until creamy and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Scoop chili into bowls and top with extra cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, a dash of chili powder, and lime wedges if you prefer. Serve hot and enjoy!
