For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. It elevates the soup significantly. Adjust the amount of chili powder and green chile peppers to suit your desired level of spiciness. A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a delightful zing. Feel free to customize the toppings! Avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, and crispy tortilla strips are all fantastic additions.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom stockpot, bring 4 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt to a rolling boil. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are submerged. Cover the pot and cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside (approximately 10-15 minutes). The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Reserve the cooking liquid in a separate bowl for later use.
02
Step
5 mins
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03
Step
20 mins
Pour in the chicken broth, black beans, Great Northern beans, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, chopped green chile peppers, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
04
Step
5 mins
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the bones. Shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces. Add the shredded chicken and frozen corn to the soup. Cover and cook until the corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.
