Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rinsed black beans, drained corn, diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the shredded chicken to the soup. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubes of cream cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the soup becomes creamy. Do not boil after adding the cream cheese.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, mash about 1/4 cup of the beans against the side of the pot before adding the cream cheese.
- You can easily adapt this to a 6 can chicken taco soup by substituting canned chicken for the fresh shredded chicken and adjusting broth as needed.
- This soup freezes well; cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for meal prep.
