Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Drain and rinse the black beans under cool water.
  • Chop any additional toppings you want to add.

Cooking

  • In a large pot, add the chicken and cook over medium heat until it’s no longer pink—about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, salsa, and broth.
  • Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Simmer on low for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For extra creaminess, mash a portion of the black beans before adding them. Make a double batch for meal prep! Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
