Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use different types of chiles?
A: Yes, you can! Hatch chiles are a great option if you can find them, but any green chile variety will work. Adjust the amount to your preferred level of heat.
Q: Can I make this soup vegetarian or vegan?
A: Absolutely! Simply omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You could also add beans or other vegetables for extra protein and texture.
Q: How spicy is this soup?
A: The spiciness depends on the type and amount of green chile you use. We recommend starting with a moderate amount and adding more to taste.
Q: Can I freeze this soup?
A: Yes, this soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and freezing for up to 3 months.
Q: What if I don’t have fire-roasted tomatoes or corn?
A: Regular diced tomatoes and corn will work in a pinch, but the fire-roasted varieties add a much deeper, smokier flavor. You can also roast the tomatoes and corn yourself before adding them to the soup.
