Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can mild green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter soup)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For serving: Tortilla strips, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, avocado, sour cream, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, green enchilada sauce, corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Heat through for 2 to 3 minutes, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  4. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings like crispy tortilla strips, cheese, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • For crispy tortilla strips, cut corn tortillas into thin strips and bake or air fry until crisp.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder or a dash of hot sauce when adding the other spices.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker; combine all ingredients except the cream in the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Stir in the cream before serving.
