At the same time, in a fry pan, soft cook whole chicken thighs in a small amount of olive oil. Remove thighs from pan, set aside to cool slightly then shred with fork. Deglaze fry pan with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. When ingredients in Dutch oven are tender, add deglaze mixture.

Cut soft Corn tortillas into small pieces and add to mixture (start with 6, add more for thicker soup).

Let simmer for 20 minutes or until Corn tortillas are incorporated into the soup, stirring occasionally to keep the soup from sticking as it thickens.

Add Cilantro, simmer additional 10 minutes.

Add frozen corn, simmer additional 1 minute or until Corn is hot.
