Ingredients

Scale

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 ounces) petite diced tomatoes
1 can (15 ounces) sweet corn, drained
1 can (12.5 ounces) chicken breast, drained and flaked (or 2.5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken)
1 can (28 ounces) green enchilada sauce
1 can (14 ounces) chicken broth
1 packet (2 tablespoons) taco seasoning

Instructions

Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Combine all seven ingredients into the pot.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to incorporate the taco seasoning throughout the broth.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Stir occasionally to ensure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Serve warm in bowls topped with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors often taste even better the next day. Customize with toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, or tortilla chips.
