1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tsp chili powder
Tortilla chips, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Prep the Ingredients: Start by shredding your cooked chicken if you haven’t done so already. Chop any fresh vegetables you plan to use.
Sauté Veggies: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until they’re soft and fragrant.
Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and add the shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Stir to combine.
Season It: Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Make It Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. It should be thick and creamy.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, and any additional toppings you desire.
