How to Make Authentic Tlalpeo Soup
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken breasts, chicken broth, chopped epazote, and chipotle pepper (or jalapeño and paprika). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour the chicken broth mixture (from step 1) into the saucepan with the sautéed vegetables. Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the shredded chicken to the soup. Stir in the lime juice and adobo sauce (if using).
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Authentic Tlalpeño Soup!
