Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 medium white onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa mild or medium
- 1 (15.25-ounce) can corn drained
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon lime juice from 1 lime
For Serving (Optional)
- sour cream
- shredded cheddar cheese
- tortilla chips crushed
- green onions green and white parts, thinly sliced
- fresh cilantro finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the taco seasoning, salt, salsa, corn, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the pot, making sure each piece is completely covered by liquid. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean cutting board. Shred using two forks, then return it to the pot, along with the lime juice.
- Serve the soup with sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, green onions, and/or cilantro, if desired.
