Instructions

How to Make Mexican Street Corn Soup

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced red onion and jalapeño, cooking until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the boneless skinless chicken breasts, fire-roasted corn, and diced green chiles. Season with Tajín, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
Pour in chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
Remove cooked chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir well.
Stir in sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and lime juice. Simmer on low for an additional 3 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro.

Notes

Adjust spiciness by controlling the amount of jalapeño used. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with black beans or chickpeas. Can be prepared ahead of time for deeper flavor.
