  • 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
  • 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes with juice
  • 12.5 ounce canned chunk chicken breast, drained
  • 10 ounce can mild green enchilada sauce
  • 1 ounce package mild taco seasoning
  • 2 tsp fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a 5 to 6 quart stock pot, add the drained pinto beans, southwest corn with juice, drained black beans, chicken broth, petite diced tomatoes with juice, drained chunk chicken breast, mild green enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, fresh minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, and kosher salt over medium heat.
  2. Simmer the soup: Cook the soup uncovered over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients meld together and the soup is heated through thoroughly.
  3. Serve and garnish: Once heated through, ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, tortilla chips, and shredded cheddar jack cheese as desired for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse and drain the beans to reduce sodium content and improve flavor.
  • You can adjust the spice level by using mild, medium, or hot taco seasoning and enchilada sauce depending on your preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
