How To Make savory pan fried chicken soup, with a kick

Step 1

Get out a 9-inch (minimum) skillet, and set over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the butter, and grapeseed oil, and stir until the butter is melted.
Step 3

Add the sliced carrots, the onions and cumin, and cook until the onions have softened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 4

Reduce heat to medium, add the cubed chicken, and continue to stir for about 5 minutes.
Step 5

Add the chicken broth, the peas, and the celery, and stir until it begins to simmer.
Step 6

Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer, for about 10 minutes.
Step 7

Chef’s Note: As it is simmering, add a bit of salt and pepper to taste… And the chipotle chili pepper (if you're brave).
Step 8

Chef's Note: I cooked up some ramen noodles and served them with the soup; however, that is totally up to you.
Step 9
