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
- Add the oil and onion to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.
- 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.
- Once the soup has come to a boil reduce the heat and simmer with the pot covered lid slightly ajar for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile prep the toppings.
- Stir in the cream and chicken and let it warm through for 3-5 minutes Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed.
- 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
