  • 15 oz. black beans (rinsed & drained)
  • 15 oz. corn (whole kernel, drained)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional if you like spice)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (I use Kettle and Fire. Use the code "COOKING KATIE LADY" for a discount on their website!)
  • 1 lb. chicken (cooked & shredded; You can also use raw chicken breasts - I used precooked chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese (softened, organic)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese (freshly grated - Can also use more cheddar.)
  • toppings of choice (see options above)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Heat butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, & jalapeño. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  2. 2
    Add all ingredients except for the cream cheese, shredded cheese, & cooked chicken (if using precooked chicken). If you have raw chicken breasts, you can add them here in this step as well.
  3. 3
    Bring the soup to a gentle boil and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes. If you used raw chicken breasts, remove once cooked, shred, & return to the soup.
  4. 4
    Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, & shredded cheese until melted. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
