Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook until soft and fragrant, stirring often. This step builds the base flavor of your soup. Pro tip: Don’t rush this process; let the aromatics release their oils slowly for maximum taste.
  2. Add diced chicken breast to the pot. Cook until lightly browned but not fully cooked through. The chicken will finish cooking in the broth later. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook gently for about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice. These brighten the soup and balance the richness. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top with crushed tortilla chips, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese. Customize with extra cilantro or jalapeños if you like spice.
