  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1¼ cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cans (10 ounces) Rotel
  • 1 can (15 ounces) corn
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • ½ cup corn flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Tortilla strips, sliced avocado, sour cream, and cilantro for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the chicken broth, chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, Rotel, corn, chili powder, and cumin. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Transfer 2 cups of the soup to a separate bowl and whisk together with corn flour until smooth. Mix the mixture back into the soup to thicken.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar and cream cheese, cooking over medium-low heat until fully melted and combined.
  5. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips, sliced avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.

Notes

  • For added heat, use a spicier version of Rotel or add some diced jalapeños.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste, such as adding more cumin or chili powder.
  • Top with additional cheese for a cheesy finish, or use a mix of different cheeses.
