  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 to 4 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and diced
  • 6 to 8 ears of corn on the cob, kernels cut from the cob
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 to 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup beer (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chicken base (such as Better Than Bouillon)
  • A few dashes of hot sauce of choice
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice

Optional Toppings:

  • Additional cilantro
  • Crumbled cotija cheese

Instructions

 

  1. Sauté the Vegetables
    • In a large soup pot over medium heat, add olive oil, diced onions, and jalapeños. Add the corn kernels, a pinch of kosher salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables soften.
  2. Cook the Chicken and Add Spices
    • Add minced garlic and ground chicken to the pot. Sprinkle in chili powder, paprika, cumin, and additional salt and pepper. Cook for another 7-9 minutes, breaking up the chicken with a spatula until browned.

    • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with extra cilantro, cotija cheese, and lime wedges for garnish.

Equipment

Notes

 

  • Fresh Corn: Using fresh corn adds a delightful crunch and sweetness, but canned or frozen corn can be a great substitute if fresh isn’t available.
  • Customize Heat: Adjust the heat level to your liking by adding more or fewer jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Balance Flavors: If the chili is too spicy, a splash of cream or a dollop of extra sour cream can balance the heat.
