Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ Medium onion chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 10 fluid ounce cans Ro-tel diced tomatoes & green chilies with juices
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 12 fluid ounce can corn drained
  • 1 14 fluid ounce can black beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 8 ounce block of cream cheese (I used Philly) softened
  • 2 cups cooked/rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • toppings optional: shredded Tex-Mex cheese blend, avocado, cilantro, tortilla strips, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least an hour ahead of time to let it soften up, or microwave it for 20-30 seconds until it's soft.
  2. Add the oil and onion to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Add all the remaining soup ingredients to the pot except for the cream cheese and chicken.
  4. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Turn down the heat so it's simmering gently (uncovered) for 5 minutes. While the soup cooks, prep your toppings.
  5. Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the soup. Let it melt in (you may have to stir it a fair bit until it's fully incorporated).
  6. Stir in the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes or so until it's warmed through.
  7. Season the soup with salt & pepper and serve with toppings as desired.
