Cilantro-Lime Soup

We made this soup on Sunday and thought it would be much better than chicken noodle soup for curing colds and opening up the sinuses.  Well Mackenzie and Matthew did not have any and both caught colds this week.  Coincidence?

1 coarsely chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
2 chopped & seeded jalapenos
1/4 bunch chopped cilantro
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chili powder
2 chicken breasts, cut into 3/4" pieces
5 cups chicken broth
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup chopped & seeded tomatoes
1/2 bunch cilantro (tied with kitchen string if available)
1/4 cup lime juice
Sour cream

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 3 minutes.  Add the chili powder and stir for 1 minute.  And the chicken and stir for two minutes.  Add the broth, corn, tomatoes, jalapenos, and bunch of cilantro.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 10 minutes.  Discard the cilantro bunch.  Add the chopped cilantro and lime juice and heat through.  Garnish with sour cream.
