Equipment

  • 1 Large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Ladle
  • 1 set Measuring cups
  • 1 set Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 bell pepper, diced any color
  • 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend, for topping
  • Sour cream for serving optional
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish optional
  • Avocado slices for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot and sear on both sides for about 3 minutes each.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the soup and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  • Stir in the diced bell pepper, corn, and green chilies (if using). Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices, if desired.
