Ingredients

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/whipping cream

2 cups cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)

Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (with juices), and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  • Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, corn, and black beans. Stir to combine, and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

  • Stir in heavy cream and shredded cooked chicken. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Notes

Spicy Version: Add chopped jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce for extra heat.

Vegetarian Version: Replace the chicken with more beans or tofu, and use vegetable broth.

Low-Carb: Skip the corn and use cauliflower rice or skip the tortilla strips for a low-carb version.

Toppings: Customize with lime wedges, cilantro, or shredded cheese.
