Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • Tortilla strips for serving
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Shredded cheese for serving
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until they soften and become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Mix in the Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the diced tomatoes and diced green chiles. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in the Chicken and Corn: Once at a gentle simmer, add the shredded chicken and corn. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
  4. Final Assembly: Serve the soup topped with crunchy tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

For deeper flavor, roast tomatoes and garlic before adding. Use a rotisserie chicken for convenience. Adjust spice with more chili powder or fresh peppers.
