Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Butter or Ghee or avocado oil
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 2 stalks Celery sliced
  • 1 medium Carrot thinly sliced
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 1.5 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 15 ounces Diced fire-roasted Tomatoes 1 can
  • 0.25 cup Tomato Paste
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 14.5 ounces Red Kidney Beans drained and rinsed, 1 can
  • 14.5 ounces Black Beans drained and rinsed, 1 can
  • 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Sweet Corn
  • 2 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken
  • 1 cup Mexican Shredded Cheese Blend for garnishing
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of Butter or Ghee in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, sliced celery, thinly sliced carrot, diced red bell pepper, and chopped garlic. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in 1½ teaspoons of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Add 15 ounces of fire-roasted diced tomatoes and ¼ cup of tomato paste. Pour in 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until veggies are tender.
  3. Remove the pot from heat. Blend the soup until smooth and creamy using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
  4. Return the soup to medium heat. Add drained and rinsed red kidney beans and black beans, 1 cup of sweet corn, and 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken. Stir gently to combine and heat through for a couple more minutes.
  5. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with Mexican shredded cheese blend or other favorite toppings like avocado or cilantro.
