Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder

- Add the canned corn, black beans, chicken and lime juice and return to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve in bowls, topped with fresh cilantro and avocado, with lime wedges on the side.
- The soup keeps for four days, tightly covered, in the refrigerator.
Serving Suggestion
