The Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili
 
 
It's common to see lines stretching around the corner and down the block as hungry patrons wait for their cup of one of five daily hot soup selections.
 
1 lb    chicken breast fillets (4 fillets)  
1 Tbs    olive oil  
10 cups    water  
2 cups    chicken stock  
1/2 cup    tomato sauce  
1   potato, peeled & chopped  
1   small onion, diced  
1 cup    frozen yellow corn  
1/2   carrot, sliced  
1   celery stalk, diced  
1 cup    canned diced tomatoes  
1   15-ounce can red kidney beans, plus liquid  
1/4 cup    diced canned pimento  
1   jalapeno, diced  
1/4 cup    chopped Italian parsley  
1   clove garlic, minced  
1 1/2 tsp    chili powder  
1 tsp    cumin  
1/4 tsp    salt  
dash    cayenne pepper  
dash    basil  
dash    oregano  
  On the side  
  Sour cream  
pinch    chopped Italian parsley  
 
1 Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Cook the chicken on both side until done -- about 7-10 minutes per side. Cool the chicken until it can be handled. Do not rinse the pot.
2 Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
3 Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours. Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits. Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
4 Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
