Chicken Tortilla Soup

Smoky, tomatoey and ready in 30 minutes: shredded chicken, black beans and crispy tortilla strips in a cumin-spiced broth.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 4 cup chicken stock
  • 2 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 corn tortillas, cut in strips and crisped in oil or the oven

Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder and stir 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the tomatoes, stock, chicken, beans, corn and salt.
  4. Simmer 15–20 minutes so the flavors come together.
  5. Squeeze in the lime juice and taste for salt.
  6. Serve in bowls topped with the crispy tortilla strips.
Serve with: lime wedges, sour cream and shredded cheese on the side.

Rotisserie chicken makes this a true 30-minute soup; add it already shredded so it just needs to heat through.
