Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.

- Pour in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 20-25 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Notes
To save time, use rotisserie chicken for the shredded cooked chicken.
Customize the soup by adding jalapeños for extra heat or a dollop of sour cream for creaminess.
Make it vegetarian by swapping chicken broth for vegetable broth and omitting the chicken.
For a thicker soup, blend a portion of it with an immersion blender before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
