Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded and chopped
• 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
• 1 15 oz can corn, drained or 12 oz bag frozen
• 1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with chiles
• 1 15 oz can chicken broth
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 package dry ranch seasoning
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
• Toppings: shredded cheese, jalapenos, guacamole, or salsa
• Tortilla chips for serving

Method

 

1. In large pot or Dutch oven, add chicken, broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, seasonings, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
2. Stir in cream cheese and combine well.
To make it as smooth as possible, ladle some of the warm soup broth into a bowl with the cubed cream cheese and whisk to combine, then pour back into the soup. This will prevent lumps of cream cheese, but is totally optional.
3. To serve, ladle into bowl and top with toppings of choice- jalapenos, salsa, shredded cheese, or guacamole (see our recipe!) Serve with tortilla chips.
