Taco seasoning packets
Fresh limes for juicing

Instructions
Add shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, pinto beans, frozen corn, minced garlic, and taco seasoning to a large pot
Heat over medium high heat and stir frequently until the soup comes to a gentle boil
Add softened cream cheese and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the soup to simmer gently while stirring occasionally
Remove from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lime juice
Let the soup rest briefly, then serve warm with preferred toppings
Notes
Softening the cream cheese before adding it helps create a smooth and creamy texture
Stir frequently while melting the cream cheese to prevent lumps
Adjust seasoning after simmering, as taco seasoning blends can vary in salt and spice
The soup thickens slightly as it cools, so add extra broth when reheating if needed
This soup develops even more flavor after resting, making it ideal for leftovers
