Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken with the spices.
- Pour in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and chicken broth. Add the optional extra corn kernels if using.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot topped with sour cream, shredded cheddar, avocado, cilantro, tortilla strips or chips, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
For extra flavor, top with fresh lime juice and cilantro just before serving. You can substitute rotisserie chicken for the raw chicken breasts; add it during the last few minutes of simmering just to warm through.
