Instructions
In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir well to combine.
Add the shredded chicken to the pot, followed by the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure all flavors meld together.
While the soup is simmering, lightly crush the tortilla chips and prepare optional garnishes like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to suit your preferences.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with crushed tortilla chips, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
