Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion for 4 minutes. Add garlic, chipotle, cumin, and chili powder. Cook 1 minute.

2

Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and salt. Place the whole chicken breasts in the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

3

Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the pot.

Tip: Poaching the chicken directly in the broth adds more flavor than using pre-cooked chicken.

4

Bake or fry the tortilla strips until crispy (375F oven for 8 minutes, or fry in oil for 1 minute). Serve soup topped with tortilla strips, diced avocado, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime.
