Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and dice the potato into 1/4-inch cubes. Mince the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat if you prefer.

  2. Step 2

    Pour broth into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add diced potato and minced jalapeño.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potato is tender, about 6 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Roughly chop cilantro and add to the pot along with shredded chicken. Stir until cilantro wilts, ~60 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice over the soup. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot in bowls with crackers on the side for scooping.
