2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Onion minced
1 Jalapeno minced and seeded (if desired)
3 Garlic Cloves minced
4 cups Chicken Broth
20 ounces Diced Tomatoes with juice
6 ounces Rotel with Diced Chiles
14 ounces Black Beans rinsed and drained
2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
1 ½ cups Corn rinsed and drained
1 ½ teaspoons Cumin
1 Tablespoon Chipotle Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste (optional)
Optional Garnishes: Cilantro Avocado, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream and Tortilla Strips

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
Add the minced onion to the hot oil and stir occasionally until lightly golden.
Add the minced jalapeno and garlic cloves to the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and Rotel.
Increase heat to medium-high and bring broth to a simmer.
Add the chicken, corn, black beans and seasoning and simmer 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until corn and beans are at your desired texture.
Adjust seasoning to personal preference.
Serve garnished with your preferred garnishes.

Because this soup contains a lot of tomatoes and acids if you are using a dutch oven make sure that you use one that is enameled.
Top with avocado slices, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or cilantro for extra flavor and texture.
Adjust the salt and black pepper in this recipe based on your taste buds. My family prefers more pepper and less salt.
Leave the chicken out, and use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version of this soup.
