How to Make Chicken Sopa Casserole

  1. If using a whole chicken, boil until the meat easily falls off the bone (approximately 1-1.5 hours). Let cool completely, then bone the chicken (can be done a day ahead). Reserve 2 cups of the cooking broth.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the boned chicken (about 3 cups shredded), cooked onion, 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add reserved chicken broth, about 1/2 cup, until the mixture is moist but not soupy.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with extra cheese and green onions before serving (optional).
