Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, and green enchilada sauce to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese gradually, stirring until melted and the soup is creamy.
- Season the soup with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Mix in the corn kernels and black beans and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the soup from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve hot with tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips on top. Optionally, add sliced avocado for extra creaminess.
Notes
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if desired.
