Vegetables

  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Broth

  • 4 cups chicken broth

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (blend of cumin, chili powder, garlic, oregano)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté Aromatics – Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients – Add the shredded chicken, rinsed black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Step 3: Season It Up – Stir in the taco seasoning, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the soup. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Step 4: Finish with Freshness – Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving to add brightness and fresh herbal flavor.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep option.
  • Adjust liquid levels if you prefer a thicker soup by reducing broth or simmering longer.
  • Lightly toast taco seasoning to enhance aroma and depth.
  • Add canned beans towards the end to preserve their texture.
  • Add lime juice gradually to balance acidity to your taste.
