Ingredients:
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 can of enchilada sauce
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8oz salsa*
- Chicken broth
- Seasonings to taste: salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
Directions:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and add chicken and spices to taste. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Add chicken to a stock pot, along with beans, enchilada sauce, salsa, and onion. Add enough broth to make it soupy -- use your own discretion. I ended up adding a little bit of flour, too, to thicken it up. Season with additional spices, if desired. Serve topped with shredded cheese and tortilla chips.
*For the salsa, I used some homemade salsa that I had leftover from a couple of weeks ago. A friend gave me this recipe -- it is SO easy and SO good!!
I thought it turned out great, especially for a "see what's in the pantry and try to make something of it" sort of meal. The cheese and tortilla chips are a must, in my opinion :) I think I'll be making this one again -- it was very simple and quick to make! To make it even easier, just get a rotisserie chicken, shred that, and add some extra seasoning when you make the soup.
