  • Yield

    Serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 green bell pepper or red bell pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 32 oz box chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 15 oz can tomato, diced
1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
juice of 1 lime
Crushed tortilla chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onions and salt for 3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add the bell peppers, garlic clove and cumin and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add the broth and remaining ingredients (except for the lime juice & tortilla chips). Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

    Step 4

    After 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts) remove the chicken from the pot and shred, using a fork. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot with the lime juice and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until chicken is heated though.

    Step 5

    Remove bay leaf, pour soup into bowls, and top with crushed tortilla chips for everyone to stir in on their own. Serve with desired toppings on the side.
