Instructions

  5. Add in garlic and onion; sauté until tender.
  6. Add in seasonings, tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Stir until warmed and coated with seasoning.
  7. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
  8. Squeeze in lime juice before serving and adjust seasonings if needed.
  9. Place a few tortilla strips in a bowl and pour soup on top. Top with desired toppings.

Notes

  • For a smokier flavor, use chipotle powder in place of some of the chili powder.
  • To make this soup vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
