Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 14.5–15 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 10 oz can diced green chilies (or two smaller cans)
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ cup cilantro plus extra for garnish
  • ½ cup sour cream optional, for a creamier soup

Instructions

  • Add the chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, green chilies, corn, broth, and all seasonings to the Crockpot. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the Crockpot.
  • Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and sour cream if using. (If adding sour cream, turn off heat first to avoid curdling.)
  • Serve hot, topped with crispy tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

For best flavor, stir in the lime juice and cilantro at the end of cooking. If adding sour cream, turn off the heat first to prevent curdling. This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and freezes beautifully - just leave off the toppings and let it cool completely before freezing. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
