Ingredients
Alright, let’s talk about what you need to create this deliciousness:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking—don’t worry, it’s easier than finding matching socks in a pile of laundry!
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the diced chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. If your kitchen smells like a dream, you’re on the right track!
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until lovingly soft, around 3-4 minutes. Let those aromas fill your space!
- Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes (with all their spicy glory), chicken broth, corn, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Bring everything to a gentle boil. Your patience will be rewarded!
- Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This is the perfect time to prepare your tortilla chips and gather any optional toppings—because who doesn’t love customization?
- Serve your soup hot with tortilla chips and your favorite toppings. Squeeze a little lime over the top for some extra zing, and enjoy your culinary triumph!
