2tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
1tbsp flour
2tsp canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced (less/more for mild/spicier)
1tsp thyme
1tsp oregano
Salt & pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in Dutch oven on medium heat. Cook chicken then transfer it to a bowl. Add onions and carrots to pot and cook in until softened and starting to brown (8-10 minutes). Add 1/2 cup of water halfway through to avoid burning. Stir in garlic, chipotle chilis, oregano and thyme. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add broth and bring to simmer. Add zucchini and chickpeas and continue to simmer 5-10 minutes until softened. While that cooks, shred or chop to bite-sized pieces and add back to soup, add cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
