WOW – it has been a while, internet fam. Since the week before Thanksgiving, I have posted one recipe on the blog! Between family being here for Thanksgiving and Christmas (which was time I intended to take off work), the weeks in between were a giant blur of sickness and lots of sleep-hating babies. Well, just one in particular 🙂.
I wasn’t planning on ghosting the blog for an entire month, BUT – sometimes life just gets in the way and tiny humans take precedence. But here we are! And it’s almost the new year, and I’m super excited to kick of 2020 and have it be an amazing year!
A year full of fun times, people, and good food. Why not kick the good food part off early with this taco soup?
This is officially a recipe so easy that it doesn’t even deserve to be called “a recipe.” You don’t even do anything. You shred a rotisserie chicken and that’s the extent of your prep work, and it GIVES ME LIFE.
In fact, the 25 minute cook time is even a stretch. It really depends on how aggressive you are with your rotisserie chicken…maybe you can knock that bad boy out in 5 minutes, and if so, you’re lookin’ at a 20 minute dinner fam.
Here’s what we’ve got:
- Chicken broth
- Black beans
- Rotel
- Canned green chilis
- Frozen corn
- Rotisserie chicken
- Chili powder + cumin
- Lime zest (optional)
And here’s the dump and go part – you quite literally take all those ingredients, throw them in a pot, bring the soup to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes. That’s it byeeeee.
While that’s happening, get your toppings ready – my personal faves are shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, and some crunched up tortilla chips. Maybe some cilantro too if you’re feeling like chopping one thing for dinner.
And that’s it! Ladle your soup, be liberal with your toppings, and dinner is ready in 25. Whew – just the MOST perfect for busy week nights or for people who don’t love cooking!
