Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping or stirring in)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For Serving: Tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, taco seasoning, and cumin to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes and green chilies (with liquid), black beans, and corn. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
  5. Add the cream cheese cubes to the pot. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream cheese.
  6. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve hot, topped with crispy tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For crispy tortilla strips, cut corn tortillas into thin strips and bake or air fry until golden brown and crisp.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce during the simmering stage.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker; combine all ingredients except cream cheese and cheese in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Stir in cream cheese until melted before serving.
