  • Preheat a medium-to-large soup pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and chicken to the hot pot. Lightly brown chicken, about 2 minutes. Add chorizo and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, jalapeno peppers, and onion to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and hot sauce. Add chicken broth and bring to a bubble, about 5 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Reduce heat under soup and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Ladle soup into shallow, oven-proof bowls and top each with a generous handful of crushed tortilla chips and shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • Place bowls into the oven under the hot broiler until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
