- 1 packet Taco Seasoning (low sodium) A burst of flavor that infuses the soup with aromatic spices.
- 1 can Diced Tomatoes (14.5 oz) Adds a bright, tangy dimension to the soup.

- 4 cups Chicken Broth (low sodium) Provides a warm and nourishing base for the soup.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and shred the chicken.
- In the same pot, add the chicken broth and return to heat. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir well.
- Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and shredded chicken to the broth. Stir until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with desired toppings.
Notes
For an added kick, incorporate diced jalapeños or hot sauce. For a creamier texture, swirl in sour cream before serving. Don't hesitate to get creative with toppings like crispy tortilla strips or lime.
