Ingredients
- 3 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1 inch thickness and chopped into 1 ½ inch pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cups bell peppers (I used a combination of red and green)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
- ¼ cup cold water
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 cup corn canned or frozen
- 2 cans black beans
- 2 roma tomatoes diced or chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, colby jack, monterey jack, or Mexican blend)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 ½ teaspoons onion salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- optional: 1 medium avocado sliced, cilantro, additional tomatoes, fresh limes, other desired toppings
Instructions
- Season chopped chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oil to a large pan or nonstick skillet. Add chicken pieces, and cook over medium heat, stirring though out until chicken is cooked through.
- Add peppers and sprinkle peppers and chicken with taco seasoning. Cook 1-2 minutes longer, stirring throughout. Set chicken and peppers aside.
- Add chicken broth and cream cheese to a large soup pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. In a small bowl whisk together cold water and corn starch until corn starch is dissolved. Pour into boiling soup mixture. Stir while mixture thickens. Reduce heat.
- Add corn, black beans, and tomatoes. Stir in cheese until melted. Add cumin, onion salt, garlic salt, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Simmer 5-10 minutes. Serve hot and top with sliced avocados, cilantro, additional tomatoes or cheese, or other toppings as desired.

Notes
