Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 green or red bell pepper, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 oz box chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- Juice of 1 lime
- crushed tortilla chips
- toppings of choice: avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onions and salt for 3 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, garlic clove and cumin and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the broth and remaining ingredients (except for the lime juice & tortilla chips). Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer.
- After 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts) remove the chicken from the pot and shred, using a fork or hand mixer. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot with the lime juice and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until chicken is heated though.
- Remove bay leaf, pour soup into bowls, and top with crushed tortilla chips for everyone to stir in on their own. Serve with desired toppings on the side.
Notes
- Shortcut tip – If you want to cut down on cooking time, you can use rotisserie chicken to get this on the table even faster!
- Spice it up – Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne for some heat.
- Make it heartier – Stir in a can of rinsed and drained black beans for extra protein and fiber.
- Freeze for later – This soup freezes beautifully! Just store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
