Scale

Canned Ingredients

  • 1 can canned chicken (approx. 12 oz)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles (approx. 10 oz)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (approx. 15 oz)
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (approx. 15 oz)
  • 1 can whole kernel corn, drained (approx. 15 oz)
  • 1 can rotel or diced tomatoes with green chilies (approx. 10 oz)
  • 1 can enchilada sauce (approx. 10 oz)
  • 1 can chicken broth (approx. 14–16 oz)

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all eight cans and drain the beans and corn thoroughly to prevent excess liquid and intensify the flavors in the soup.
  2. Sauté the Spices: In a large pot, warm a bit of oil over medium heat, then toast the taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder for about a minute until aromatic to release their full flavor.
  3. Add Liquids and Canned Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, kidney beans, corn, rotel, and canned chicken. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer to Blend Flavors: Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the soup and add salt, pepper, or extra seasoning as desired. Optionally add lime juice or hot sauce to enhance the flavor punch.

Notes

  • Drain beans and corn well to keep the soup thick and flavorful.
  • Use quality chicken broth for deeper richness and flavor.
  • Simmer the soup slowly to fully develop the taco spices and blend all ingredients harmoniously.
  • Adjust spice levels carefully by starting mild and increasing heat to preference.
  • Let the soup rest off heat for a few minutes to let flavors meld even further before serving.
