Equipment

  • large pot
  • Immersion Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked chicken meat shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers sliced, remove seeds for milder version
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 3 cups butternut squash fresh or frozen (I used frozen)
  • 6 cups no-salt-added chicken stock
  • 1 14-ounce can no salt added black beans
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard chopped
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 cup unsalted tortilla chips
  • Toppings avocado, chili flakes, sour cream or Greek yogurt, more tortilla chips

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeno peppers and sauté over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the cilantro, butternut squash, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, then blend the soup together with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in small batches to a countertop blender, and blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot.
  • Add the shredded chicken meat, black beans, chopped Swiss chard, and lime juice. Cook over high heat for an additional 5 minutes, until soup is hot and bubbling.
  • Serve soup with unsalted tortilla chips and your favorite toppings (I used sliced avocado, sour cream, chili pepper flakes, and more lime). Enjoy!
