So I could have named this recipe a number of things.

Chicken Taco Soup

Chicken, Salsa and Double Bean Soup

Tex-Mex Chicken Soup

Clear out the Pantry Chicken Soup

And in the end I settled on Chicken, Black Bean with Salsa Soup.

(Which definitely hurts the feelings of the red beans…they feel totally left out.)

Chicken & Black Bean with Salsa Soup

I could have named this recipe a number of things...because so much goodness in one bowl.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 3 3 chicken breasts diced
  • 1 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning 1 packet
  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 2 cups cooked red beans
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 cup red salsa
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Couple pinchfuls of shredded cheese garnish
  • 1 avocado, sliced garnish

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, saute the diced chicken breast in the oil with the taco seasoning mixed in. (If you have cooked and shredded chicken, that will work too!)
  • Once the chicken has cooked through, add the cooked black beans, the cooked red beans, the broth and water. Stir in the frozen corn, no need to thaw, as well as the salsa. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. (Time it so that the cooking scents are at the best when your spouse walks in the door from work!) Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with a pinchful of shredded cheese and a slice or two of fresh avocado.
  • Serve Chicken, Black Bean with Salsa Soup with Cheese and Avocado Slices.
