Instructions
Prep the Ingredients:
- Open all the canned ingredients (cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, cream-style corn) and drain the cannellini beans and black beans, while keeping the juices from the tomatoes and corn. Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the Aromatics:
- In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent.
Add the Spices:
- Stir in the ground cumin, oregano, and kosher salt. Cook for another 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast and become fragrant.
Combine the Liquids and Beans:
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the drained black beans, cannellini beans (drained), and the corn (whole kernel and cream-style, undrained). Stir to combine.
Add Tomatoes and Chicken:
- Add the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies and the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot. Stir well and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add Cream and Final Seasoning:
- Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Taste the soup and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Finish with Lime:
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the soup for a fresh burst of flavor. Stir to combine.
Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, tortilla strips, or fresh cilantro.
