- Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and spray it with cooking spray.
- Add tortilla strips in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crispy, on both sides. You might need to work in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

- Serve soup hot with crispy tortilla strips on top and enjoy!

Notes
- You may use any other protein of your choice. To save on cooking time with the chicken breast, consider using rotisserie chicken.
- Add in more veggies if you like.
- Use fresh or frozen corn. If in a pinch and you only have canned corn you may use canned corn.
- Be sure to drain and rinse the beans.
- There are several other toppings you could add to the soup like fresh cilantro, sour cream, and chopped avocado.
- Want a creamier version of this soup? Add about 1/4 cup of cream cheese.
