Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add diced onion, minced garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
- Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and enchilada sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Add black beans, frozen corn, and shredded chicken. Cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy.
- Squeeze lime juice into the soup and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and crispy tortilla strips.
Notes
For a spicier soup, leave the seeds in the jalapeño. You can substitute rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken to save time.
