Instructions
Making Easy Chicken Enchilada Soup is straightforward when you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and shred the chicken, setting it aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add Ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, and taco seasoning. Bring to a simmer.
4. Combine Chicken: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Simmer the soup for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust for salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a spicier soup, add more taco seasoning or jalapeños.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, topped with shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and crispy tortilla strips.
This straightforward process allows you to create a delicious and comforting soup effortlessly.
