1 – 15oz can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
2 – 4.5 oz cans green chilies
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
32 oz low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
chopped cilantro, for serving
sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
diced red onion, for serving
lime wedges, for serving
shredded cheddar, for serving
Method
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the avocado or coconut oil. Next, add the diced peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions start to become translucent.
Add the chicken breast, canned tomatoes, black beans, canned green chilies, spices, lime juice, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir until well combined. Bring the soup to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken breast from the soup and transfer to a plate. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
Add the shredded chicken back to the soup along with the corn and stir until well combined. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the corn is heated through.
Serve the soup with all your favorite toppings and enjoy!
