Step 1

Blend the fire-roasted tomatoes and broth until smooth. Add to a pot along with the chicken and sweet potato chunks and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato is just tender. Remove chicken to a plate. Let cool and then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Saute onion until lightly browned. Add garlic, jalapeno, oregano, and black pepper and saute briefly.

Step 3

Add onion and zucchini mixture to pot with liquid and sweet potatoes, along with corn and chicken. Bring to a simmer, taste and adjust seasonings, and let cook until corn is done (a few minutes).

Step 4

Serve with crumbled queso fresco or cotija and fresh lime juice on top.
