This cozy soup is perfect for a night in with someone special, combining tender chicken and flavorful spices in a warm, comforting bowl. It’s easy to make and sure to satisfy both of your cravings.
Start by heating a little oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Toss in the chopped onion along with about 1 ½ tablespoons of taco seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and turn translucent—this usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add the canned tomatoes with their juice, the chicken broth, and the corn to the pot.
Sprinkle the remaining taco seasoning over the chicken pieces, then add them to the soup. Give everything a good stir to combine, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, which should take about 5 minutes.
When it’s ready, ladle the soup into bowls and top with crunchy tortilla chips, creamy avocado slices, some Oaxaca cheese if you have it, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
- Use cooked shredded chicken to save time.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder.
- Let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes to deepen the flavors.
