Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
28 ounces diced tomatoes
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
2 ½ cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
For garnish: sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, broth, and shredded chicken. Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cilantro.
Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

If you want a Vegetarian Fajita Soup, omit the chicken and add another can of black beans and use vegetable broth. This soup can also be made in the slow cooker.
