Ingredients

Scale

Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (with juices)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 (12 ounce) can corn (drained)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can black beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 2 cups cooked chicken ((I used a rotisserie chicken))
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Toppings (optional, to taste):

  • tortilla strips
  • avocado
  • sour cream
  • Tex-Mex cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté onion: Add the oil and onion to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until it’s lightly browned.
  2. Add ingredients: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Rotel, and chicken broth, followed by the garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, corn, and black beans. Stir well and increase the heat to high.
  3. Simmer: Once the soup has come to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer with the pot covered (lid slightly ajar) for 5 minutes.
  4. Prep toppings: Meanwhile, prep the toppings.
  5. Add cream and chicken: Stir in the cream and chicken and let it warm through for 3-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed (I am generous with both).
  6. Serve: Serve immediately and top bowls as desired.
