Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium or large onion chopped
  • 1 fresh jalapeño chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons DIY taco seasoning or 1 packet of grocery store taco seasoning
  • 1 can 15 oz pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 frozen 12 oz bag fire-roasted corn
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 4 oz diced green chiles
  • 4 cups tomato broth I used Knorr tomato bouillon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken: Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken. Shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside. (This can also be done a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Remove from your fridge and set aside when you start preparing the soup).
  • Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and jalapeños and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the seasonings: Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add remaining ingredients: Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, fire-roasted corn, diced chile peppers, shredded chicken and tomato broth to the pot. Stir well. Bring to a boil.
  • Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Make It Ahead: This soup often tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. It’s a great option for meal prepping or making ahead for busy days.
