Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno chile, minced (if you want the soup hotter, include the seeds)
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans
1 lime, juice of
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper or 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup minced cilantro
shredded monterey jack cheese
tortilla chips

Steps:

Heat broiler; cook chicken, turning once, about 10 minutes.
Or, grill the chicken on an outdoor grill, which is what I usually do.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat; add onion, garlic and chili; cook until soft, about 3 minutes; add broth, corn, beans (undrained), lime juice, salt and red and black pepper to taste; heat to a boil, reduce heat to simmer.
Slice or shred cooked chicken; add to pot.
Add cilantro; heat through, about 1 minute.
Ladle into soup bowls; top each with shredded cheese and crumbled tortilla chips, if desired.
