Ingredients

FRESH INGREDIENTS

  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped

CANNED ITEMS

  • 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can rotel tomatoes, with green chilies
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans black beans, drained
  • 1½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 TBSP olive oil

SPICES

  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 TBSP chili powder

OPTIONAL ITEMS

  • 1 bag blue corn chips OPTIONAL
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese OPTIONAL
  • 8 ounces sour cream OPTIONAL
  • 2 cups rice, cooked OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan and sautee onion, jalapeno, and bell peppers until soft.
  • Add all other ingredients to the pan and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve with soup toppings of your choice. I prefer blue corn chips, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. This would also be really nice over rice.
  • OPTIONAL: For picky eaters, you can puree the sauteed veggies with the can of diced tomatoes before adding back to the soup.
