Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 1 cup of canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese
  • Tortilla chips or strips for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into small pieces and set it aside.
  • To the same pot of broth, add the diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, onion, jalapeno pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the soup for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir to combine. Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese and a handful of tortilla chips or strips. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
