I took this photo during Lent 2018 when my friend, Rita D., served this cup of deliciousness at a Lenten Soup Supper at church. I’m sure she tripled the recipe that day! Besides the yummy soup, I loved the presentation with sour cream, tortilla chips, cilantro, and a lime wedge. Check out this easy recipe. We won’t tell your family and guests how quickly you put this together! =^..^= Posted with permission.

How To Make rita’s mexican soup

  • 1
    In a Dutch oven, stir together the tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken, and enough chicken broth* to cover everything. *Rita wrote that she likes to use College Inn chicken broth. The amount will depend on how thin or thick you like your soup.
  • 2
    Add the chili powder, olive oil, minced garlic, and cumin. Taste and adjust to suit your palate. Stir well.
  • 3
    Cook the soup on medium-low heat, stirring often, until the soup is the consistency you like, around 45 minutes or so after the soup comes to a gentle simmer. Serve and enjoy!
