No reviews

A hearty soup that combines tender chicken, black beans, corn, and spices to create a comforting and protein-rich meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado

Instructions

  1. Sauté onion and garlic: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Combine ingredients: Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and taco seasoning.
  3. Bring to a boil: Mix everything well, then bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavor.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado.

Notes

Cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken can save time and add flavor. For a different flavor, try pinto or kidney beans instead of black beans.
