Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 cup diced sweet yellow onion
1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and diced)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
14 ounces canned fire roasted diced tomatoes (undrained)
14 ounces canned small white beans (navy beans) (rinsed and drained)
14 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
2 cups chopped fully cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
4 ounces cream cheese (⅓ less fat or regular) ( softened and cut into small pieces)
1 cup frozen corn
1 lime (juiced)
cilantro
shredded cheese
sour cream
hot sauce
crushed corn or tortilla chips (we love this with Fritos)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over MEDIUM heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook, stirring for another minute or two. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring as you add it until smooth and just slightly thickened. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), beans, chicken, and all the seasonings. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and add the pieces of cream cheese. Stir until completely melted and the soup is smooth. Add the frozen corn and cook, uncovered, for 2 or 3 minutes. Squeeze in the juice from the lime and remove from the heat. Taste and season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
  • Spoon into bowls and add the toppings of your choice.
