This chili takes the best flavours of a traditional Mexican soup of the same name and turns them into a hearty chili that sticks to your ribs and works great for leftovers. If you like it spicy, add extra jalapeños or use a spicier green salsa. Serve topped with sour cream, avocado and fresh cilantro. Stretch this chili even further by serving it over rice.

Ingredients
Method
On foil-lined baking sheet, rub serrano and jalapeño peppers with 2 tsp of the oil. Broil, skin side up, until blistered and beginning to blacken, about 5 minutes. Let cool enough to handle. Remove charred skin; coarsely chop peppers.Meanwhile, in large pot or Dutch oven, heat remaining oil over high heat; cook chicken, breaking up with spoon, until browned and no liquid remains, about 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-high; sauté onion until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in cumin, coriander and salt.
Stir in broth, salsa and chopped peppers, scraping up any browned bits. Add beans and corn; bring to boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
