Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Spices and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Saute Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 6-7 minutes.
  3. Add Spices and Liquids: Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Then add the drained black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth. Mix well and bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Simmer Soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • For added richness, you can garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, partially mash some of the black beans before serving.
  • This soup can be prepared in advance and reheated as the flavors develop even more over time.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
