Spicy Sriracha Chicken Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Sriracha Chicken Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.

2. Step 2

   This simple step will make cleanup a breeze! Next, gather your fresh tomatoes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Step 3

   Roast these beauties in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until they’re wonderfully softened and bursting with flavor.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re done, transfer the tomatoes to a cutting board and let them cool for a bit.

5. Step 5

   While the tomatoes are cooling, spread out your chopped carrots on the same baking sheet.

6. Step 6

   Sprinkle them with a pinch of cinnamon and a dash of salt to enhance their natural sweetness.

7. Step 7

   Roast the carrots in the oven for another 25 minutes, until they’re tender and delicious.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s bring some heat to the party! In a large skillet over medium-high heat, toss in sliced red onion, garlic cloves, and a jalapeno pepper.

9. Step 9

   Sauté these ingredients for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to char and release their aromatic goodness.

10. Step 10

    Once your tomatoes have cooled down, peel off their skins and pop them into a blender.

11. Step 11

    Add the charred onion, garlic, jalapeno, a splash of Sriracha for that extra kick, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon.

12. Step 12

    Blend everything together until you have a smooth and vibrant mixture that smells heavenly.

13. Step 13

    In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat up some vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

14. Step 14

    Pour in your pureed tomato mixture and cook it, stirring frequently, until it thickens up nicely—this should take about 5 minutes.

15. Step 15

    Now, it’s time to add some liquid gold! Pour in water and toss in a chicken bouillon cube, stirring well to combine.

16. Step 16

    Bring this delightful concoction to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

17. Step 17

    Let it cook gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s slightly reduced and packed with flavor.

18. Step 18

    Next, add in shredded chicken and black beans, bringing the pot back to a simmer.

19. Step 19

    Let everything cook together for another 15 minutes, allowing the beans to soften and soak up all those delicious flavors.

20. Step 20

    Finally, stir in the roasted carrots and heat everything through for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
