For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or shredded cheese before serving. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added texture and nutrients. This soup freezes beautifully! Allow to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers or bags.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a Dutch oven or large pot, bring water to a boil. Gently place the chicken breasts into the boiling water and cook over medium-high heat until cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Ensure the chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks, setting aside both the shredded chicken and the flavorful cooking liquid.
02
StepIntroduce the cream of chicken soup, corn, beans, and tomatoes to the reserved cooking liquid. Stir well to combine, then add the shredded chicken. Season generously with cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, melding the flavors together.
03
StepIn a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Introduce the sautéed onion to the soup, stirring to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

Feb 11, 2025I didn't have ranch-style beans, so I used pinto beans and added a little bit of ranch seasoning. It worked perfectly!
