Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 10 ounce can of ro-tel diced tomatoes & green chillies, juices included
  • 3 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 2 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • optional toppings: shredded cheese, sliced avocado, tortilla strips, cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat a heavy bottom pot or dutch oven over medium heat with olive oil, then add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  • Add the ro-tel, chicken bone broth, taco seasoning, and corn to the pot. Mix until combined. Then increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Add the cream cheese and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir until cream cheese has melted into the soup.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • You can mix in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro when adding the chicken for more flavor.
  • Season with salt and pepper before serving if desired, but I don't think it needs any!
  • Black beans would be delicious in this soup if you like them. I don't like beans, so I didn't add them to mine!
