Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast

- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook chicken: Add the chicken breast to the pot and cook until it’s no longer pink in the center, around 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add vegetables and broth: Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and taco seasoning. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Simmer soup: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Shred chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot, stirring it into the soup.
- Season to taste: Taste your soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ready to serve: Serve hot, garnished with your choice of optional toppings like avocado, cilantro, cheese, or sour cream.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for better flavor and adjust spices according to preference. You can make it vegetarian by swapping chicken for beans or veggies.
