Packed with shredded chicken and black beans, this simple chicken tortilla soup from The Honour System delivers a satisfying, protein-loaded meal. Top this warm, hearty bowl with crushed tortilla chips for an extra crunch! If you’re running low on time, simply use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead.
Optional toppings In a soup pot over medium-low heat, melt together the butter and olive oil. Add onion, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5–6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the flour, and stir constantly for another minute. Stir in the fajita seasonings, then the broth and milk. Add the salsa, chicken and black beans, and stir once more. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. If desired, serve with tortilla chips, sliced green onions and grated cheese.
