2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
1 cup corn, frozen or canned
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
1 tsp chili powder
Begin by shredding your cooked chicken and chopping your vegetables.
In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, and black beans. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken and let it heat through for about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until incorporated. Simmer gently and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, tortilla strips, and lime juice.
