Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
To start, cook and shred the chicken breasts. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and red bell pepper, and sauté until the vegetables are tender.
Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot, stirring to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the flavors have melded together.
Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with crushed tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy!
