Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Toppings: shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and stir to coat the onion and garlic evenly.
  4. Pour in 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, 1 can (15 oz) black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1 can (15 oz) corn (drained). Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Add 2 cups shredded cooked chicken and stir gently. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed—add salt or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  8. Serve hot and garnish with your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.

Notes

[‘Sauté the taco seasoning to unlock full flavor.’, ‘Use fresh toppings like cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice for brightness.’, ‘Simmer longer for deeper flavors.’, ‘Mash some beans for a thicker consistency.’]
