Ingredients

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup salsa verde (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (optional for a heartier soup)

1 cup tortilla strips (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado, diced (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the zucchini, corn, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and salsa verde. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

If using, add the cooked shredded chicken and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips, fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice.
