Chicken verde soup is about to warm up your Monday!
Welcome to your new favorite dinner!
Yes. I realize if I had a quarter for every time I opened a blog post like that, I would be a billionaire and probably spend all my money on shoes.
But I just can’t everrrrr pick a favorite. I’ve never been able to – like my entire life, I’ve never been able to pick JUST ONE FAVORITE – so multiple things end up as favorites.
It’s like a collection. I have a collection of favorites.
That includes everything.
Sorry?
This soup is really a cheater’s chicken verde soup. Instead of actual tomatillos we’re going to use salsa verde. Majorly cheating, I know.
But see, tomatillos aren’t always available to me, so I had to figure something out. Plus, this ended up being delicious!
It’s one of those soups that comes together in a little over 30 minutes and still tastes fantastic! It doesn’t have to simmer all day (though, sure, it does taste incredible the next day too), you can use a rotisserie (or leftover!) chicken and it’s the perfect weeknight meal.
Cozy, comforting, not too heavy, very delicious.
Now let’s talk about the toppings! Yes, my soups and chilis are all about the toppings but this one is a game changer. Of course, I want my classic toppings like chips and cheese and cilantro and maybe radishes (too bad I ruined the alliteration there) and stuff like that.
But here, we’re also going to make a salted yogurt. YES. Say it with me. Salted yogurt!
It sounds weird, but it’s incredible dolloped on top of soup.
To make it, you whisk together buttermilk, greek yogurt and… salt. It’s very easy!
I’ve tried it on a few different soups now, but topping this one is by far my favorite. Maybe it’s because it’s kinda of like adding sour cream (but not really) or because it takes away some of the brothy-ness of the soup and makes it feel more comforting.
Either way, it’s GOOD.
Oh oh oh and what’s really good is dipping an entire chip in your soup and scooping up the chicken verde mess AND the salted yogurt. Heck yes. Give me all of it.
ENJOY.
