A delicious creamy chicken black bean soup that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (cut into 1/2″ chunks)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 15-ounce cans black beans (with liquid)
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 4-ounce can green chilis

  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 4 ounces cream cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the avocado oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are transparent and begin to caramelize.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 more minutes, or until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink.
  5. Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the beans with their juices, crushed tomatoes, green chilis, corn, taco seasoning, and cream cheese.
  6. Continue to cook until the soup is hot, bubbly, and the cream cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the heat and serve with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and your favorite corn chips. Enjoy!
