This non-traditional chili takes advantage of the later summer harvest: jalapeño chiles, corn, zucchini, fresh oregano, rosemary, and cilantro. Don’t let the list of ingredients discourage you—pile them into a big soup pot and simmer for less than an hour for a great all-in-one supper.

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large soup kettle over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, onion and garlic for 4 minutes. Add jalapeño chile and chicken. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Cook to internal temp of 165°F. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Stir in broth, water, lime juice, rosemary, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

  3. Add corn or zucchini, beans, and green chiles. Simmer for 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve hot with garnishes as desired.
