Quick Mexican Soup with Taco Seasoning
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons Lesley Elizabeth Taco Seasoning, or to taste
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup mild salsa
- 32 ounces chicken broth
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, heat EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for 6–8 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir in Taco Seasoning to coat the chicken in flavorful spices.
- Add the corn, black beans, salsa, and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, or until everything is heated through and flavors are blended.
- Serve hot and top with your favorite toppings: crushed tortilla chips, extra salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, or avocado slices.
Serving Ideas:
- Pair with a cheesy quesadilla or warm tortilla on the side.
- Make it vegetarian by swapping chicken for extra beans or diced zucchini.
- Use a spicier salsa or add hot sauce for extra heat.
