How to make Black Bean and Salsa Soup

I take approx 10 boneless, skinless chicken strips and fry them up in butter on a skillet. I prefer my chicken to get slightly brown on both sides. Once they are out and cool enough, I tear up into bite sized pieces and set aside.

Add cans of black beans (no need to drain or rinse), broth ( I noted that it has 2 cups of broth..I like my soup to have a little soupy consistency, but to make it chunkier, just put 1.5 cups instead), can of corn (drained), lime juice, cumin, and salsa. Stir and heat to a boiling, then turn down to med heat.

Add pre-cooked chicken, stir.

Add cilantro.

Cook and stir for about 5 minutes till heated.

Serve into bowls and add toppings like tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and a side of chips!
