Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Tortilla Soup
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced onion and bell pepper, stirring occasionally. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and slightly translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and add 1 cup of diced tomatoes. Mix in 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken, 1 can of rinsed black beans, and 1 cup of corn. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- After 30 minutes, taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with tortilla strips, avocado, and cheese.
