A flavorful and comforting chicken tortilla soup made with chicken breasts, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and taco seasoning, simmered in chicken broth and finished with lime juice. Garnished with tortilla strips and cheddar cheese.
In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, then minced garlic and chopped onion, stirring until softened. Add chicken breasts, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cilantro, chicken broth, and all seasonings. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165*F. Remove the chicken, cut or shred it, and return it to the pot. Add the lime juice. Stir and let cook for 3-5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Taste and add additional seasonings if needed. Garnish with tortilla strips (or crumbled chips) and cheddar cheese before serving.
