Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb taco-seasoned chicken
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • avocado sliced
  • cilantro fresh
  • cheese shredded
  • tortilla chips for crunch

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if desired, then toss in the chopped onion. Sauté it for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
  • Next, add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cooking

  • Add the taco-seasoned chicken to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  • Stir in the drained black beans and corn, then pour in the chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  • Add cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

Serving

  • After 20 minutes, ladle the hot soup into bowls and invite everyone to add their favorite toppings.

Notes

For added heartiness, consider adding cooked rice or quinoa just before serving. A little lime juice on top can brighten the flavors.
