How to Make Southwest Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add the fire-roasted tomatoes (undrained), corn, black beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge.
