Istruzioni

Melt butter in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat.

Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Sprinkle spices overtop (ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper) and stir until combined.

Add Rotel, black beans, pinto beans, and corn and stir together. Drizzle in chicken broth and stir to combine.

Add chicken (I usually cut the breasts in half so that they cook faster) and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once chicken is cooked through, remove, shred or cut into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot.

Add cream cheese and stir until melted and thoroughly combined and smooth.

Taste-test and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm, topped with your favorite toppings (a squeeze of lime is great in this soup!).
