Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)
  • 6 small tortillas (or equivalent chips) corn tortillas or tortilla chips
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (for garnish, optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

While the soup is simmering, prepare the tortilla strips. Slice the corn tortillas into thin strips, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot, topped with crispy tortilla strips, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime if using. Enjoy!
