Part 4/8:
I begin by browning four seasoned chicken breasts in a large pot. Adding onions, garlic, jalapeño, and a mix of spices creates a base of flavor. After simmering with chicken stock and tomatoes, I shred the chicken and reintroduce it into the pot along with beans and corn. Topped with Greek yogurt and cilantro, the soup turned out to be a hit with the chef, who praised its balance and flavor.
