Shark Snacks: Pollo Verde Soup

One of Tennessee nemesis Steve Spurrier’s famous quotes is, ”You can’t spell Citrus without U-T,” referring to Tennessee’s inability to make it to the Sugar Bowl — or to a larger tier bowl game — back in the day.

So in honor of the UT game, we have a recipe that is full of citrus flavor just in time for the first cool fall weather!

Fall is soup season, so here is a citrusy, zesty soup recipe you can put on the stove or in the crockpot mid-afternoon and enjoy just before 6:30 kickoff.

Pollo Verde Soup

• 1 medium sweet onion, sautéed
• meat of 1 rotisserie chicken
• 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 cans of great northern beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 16 oz jar of salsa verde
• 1.5 cartons of chicken broth (32 oz in each carton)
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1.5 tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients. Simmer for at least 2 hours. Serve with sour cream on top if desired and with tortilla chips.

Hotty Toddy and Beat the Vols!
