Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies with juices
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 (12 ounce) can corn drained
  • 1 (14 ounce) can black beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Toppings (optional to taste): tortilla strips avocado sour cream Tex-Mex cheese etc.

Instructions

  1. Add the oil and onion to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.
  2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes Rotel and chicken broth followed by the garlic powder smoked paprika chili powder corn and black beans Stir well and increase the heat to high.
  3. Once the soup has come to a boil reduce the heat and simmer with the pot covered lid slightly ajar for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile prep the toppings.
  5. Stir in the cream and chicken and let it warm through for 3-5 minutes Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed.
  6. Serve immediately and top bowls as desired.

Notes

  • Substitutions: I don’t recommend subbing the canned tomatoes for another variety because it adds thickness/body to the soup
  • I don’t recommend subbing the cream for something with a lower fat percentage because the tomatoes are likely to curdle it
  • If you don’t have Rotel or don’t want some pieces of tomato in the soup you can leave it out and include a 4 ounce can of diced green chilies instead
