Description

The smokiness of chipotle, coupled with black beans, tomatoes, and corn, creates a chicken soup with the perfect blend of flavorful ingredients.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
2 1/2 cups water, or as needed
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chilies, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion and cook for 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute more. Stir in tomatoes, water, corn, black beans, chicken bouillon, adobo sauce, and sugar. Pour in more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
2 Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro before serving.
