Here is how you make Southwestern Chicken Stew/Soup:

1. Heat 1/2 cup broth to boiling in pot. Add chicken and cook approx 5 mins, until white. Remove chicken with slotted spoon. 2. Cook garlic and chipotle chile in broth over med/high 2 mins and break up chile with spoon. Stir in flour and reduce heat to low. Cook 2 mins, stirring constantly then gradually stir in remaining broth.3. Stir in chicken and remaining ingredients except tortilla chips. Heat to boiling then reduce heat. Cover and simmer approx 30 mins, stirring occasionally until chicken and veggies are cooked through.4. Serve sprinkled with crushed tortilla chipsMakes 6 servings.* Chipotle Chiles in adobo can be found in the mexican food products section of the grocery store in a small can. You don't need the whole can for the recipe, it would make it very spicy. You can store the leftover chiles and sauce in a baggie and freeze them and when you need them for a recipe, you just break off a piece of the frozen pepper and sauce and add to your recipe. If you can't find the chipotle chiles in adobo, you can use 1-2 fresh jalapenos chopped up. It changes the flavor a bit because the chipotles have a smokey flavor, but it is still tastes good. I've made it both ways. Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BSPROUT.
