Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red or green bell pepper chopped
- 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeno peppers finely chopped
- 1 oz taco seasoning or 2 Tbsp homemade
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 32 oz chicken stock or broth
- 56 oz diced tomatoes
- 15 oz corn drained
- 15 oz black beans drained
- 4 oz diced green chiles
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded (pull meat from a Rotisserie chicken)
- 1/2 cup toppings shredded cheese, sour cream, etc
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in an extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, bell pepper, green onions, jalapeño peppers, taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Cook until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add parsley and cilantro and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, corn, beans and chiles to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Five minutes before the soup is finished, add the chicken.
- Ladle into serving bowls and top with cheese, sour cream and tortilla strips.
Notes
- For a spicier soup, add extra jalapenos, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or a dash of hot sauce.
- For a milder soup, decrease or omit the jalapeno peppers, as well as the green chiles.
- Change up the meat in the recipe, if desired. Replace the chicken with a pound of cooked ground beef, ground turkey or pork.
- Homemade taco seasoning tastes amazing in this recipe. Consider going homemade!
- Replace one can of diced tomatoes with a can of tomato sauce for a bolder flavor.
- If black beans aren’t your thing, kidney beans or pinto beans are great replacements.
