Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed tortilla chips, for serving
- Shredded Cheddar cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all six canned ingredients and optional toppings, ensuring everything is ready for quick assembly.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the chicken broth, drained corn, drained black beans, drained chunk chicken, and drained diced tomatoes with green chile peppers into a large saucepan or stockpot over medium heat.
- Simmer Soup: Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly warmed through, about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with crushed tortilla chips and shredded Cheddar cheese as desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a heartier version, stir in cooked rice before serving to add bulk and texture.
- Top with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors.
- Using pre-drained canned ingredients reduces excess liquid and keeps the soup from being too watery.
