Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 sweet bell peppers any color(s) you like, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
- 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can 28 ounces diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can 14 ounces corn, drained - or use fresh sweet corn kernels, so good!
- 1 can 14 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 to 4 cups cooked shredded chicken breasts - a roasted deli chicken works great!
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Optional Garnishes, see Notes for more ideas:
- fresh mozzarella cut into 1″ chunks - or use small mozzarella balls or "pearls"
- Fresh avocado cut into 1" chunks
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add oil. Once oil is shimmering, stir in onion, sweet bell peppers, and garlic. Stir occasionally, until just softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Then add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in corn, black beans, shredded chicken, and lime juice. Simmer for 10 minutes more, or until heated throughout.
- To serve: Place avocado and mozzarella in the bottom of individual serving bowls. Ladle hot soup over the top. The cheese will stay in its form but become melted and ooey-gooey, yummy! Top soup with cilantro, green onions, sour cream, and tortilla crisps or chips. Offer fresh lime slices on the side for squeezing over the top.
