  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and green chilies. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken, black beans, and corn. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For crispier tortilla strips, bake or lightly fry corn tortillas cut into strips until golden.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings! Other great options include jalapeños, red onion, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • This soup is a great base for meal planning. You can easily swap chicken for shredded turkey or add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
  • If you’re looking for quick meal solutions, consider meal delivery services for pre-portioned ingredients.
