Cooking
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced onion, garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, combining it well with the sautéed veggies.
- Pour in the chicken stock and add the can of fire-roasted tomatoes along with the chicken breasts. Bring this delightful mix to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken breasts and incorporate the cream cheese into the broth.
- Shred the chicken using two forks or dice it, depending on your preference.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted into the broth.
- Add in the frozen corn and black beans. Allow them to warm through.
- Serve the soup with your choice of toppings—go wild with cilantro, avocado, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, and a squeeze of lime juice!

Notes
Don’t skip the sautéing step; it enhances the flavor of the soup through caramelization. If you prefer a creamier texture, let the cream cheese sit out for a bit before adding it; this will help it melt more easily. To save time, consider shredding the chicken in advance or even using a rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
