Equipment
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chiles, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, tortilla strips, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne. You can also swap the chicken breasts for rotisserie chicken and reduce the simmering time, or use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter topping.
