Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Place the chicken breasts into the pot, then pour in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Add the lime juice and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
- Serve hot with your desired toppings.
Notes
For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before serving. You can also substitute rotisserie chicken for the chicken breasts to save time.
