ADD stock, black beans, quinoa, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, and spices to the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20-25 minutes.

STIR in cheese, corn, cilantro and lime juice. Let soup sit a few minutes to allow corn to thaw and cheese to melt. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

DIVIDE into bowls and top with grated cheddar and other desired toppings.
