White Chicken (or Turkey) Enchilada Soup

Check ingredients as you prepare them. These checks stay on this page.

• 400 g Chicken breast
• 1/4 tsp + 1 tsp Salt
• As needed Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Salted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 each Onion
• 3 tablespoons Flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 cups Milk
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 4 tablespoons Pickled jalapeño
• 1/4 cup Sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups Corn
• 21 oz White beans

1. Slice the chicken breast into 1cm / 1/3" thick steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the chicken breast (in 2 batches if necessary) and cook each side for 2 minutes each or until golden and just cooked through.
3. Transfer to a plate. Once cool enough to handle, shred with a fork or your hands (I do this while the soup is cooking), or chop it.
4. Turn the heat down to medium and add butter into the same pot. When the butter is melted, add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is translucent and soft.
5. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot to stir the brown bits into the liquid (extra flavour!).
6. Add the milk, cumin powder, coriander and jalapeños. Turn the heat up to medium high and cook, whisking occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly - about 5 minutes.
7. Whisk the sour cream in. Then add the corn, beans and shredded chicken. Cook for 1 minute or so until everything is heated through.
8. Adjust salt to taste.
9. Serve piping hot with all the trimmings!
