Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Combine Soup Ingredients

    Add the cooked and shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), corn, black beans, enchilada sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, crushed corn tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.

  2. 5

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a generous portion of the prepared toppings. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
