Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Add tomatoes; cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Return chiles to the pan; add mint and oregano. Simmer until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Add chicken bouillon; reduce heat and simmer until flavors meld, about 10 minutes more. Discard mint and oregano.
