Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Add Tortilla Strips

    Stir in the corn tortilla strips and lime juice. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the tortillas are softened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with diced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
