Ingredients
  

Soup Base

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 can chicken broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can chicken, drained

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • In a large pot, combine the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chiles, chicken broth, pinto beans, and the canned chicken.
  • Drain and rinse the beans to remove excess sodium.

Cooking

  • Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Heat until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. For hotter soup, let it simmer for a few more minutes.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
  • Add garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro as desired.

Notes

Try sautéing onions and bell peppers before adding canned ingredients for enhanced flavor. Adjust heat levels to your preference using spicy tomatoes or cayenne pepper.
