Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed pot, like a Dutch oven, over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
- Stir in the broth, add the chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily. Use two forks to shred the chicken. We find it easiest to remove the chicken from the pot to shred it.
- Add the rotel, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, to allow the flavors to develop. If you aren't ready to serve the soup just yet, lower the heat to as low as it will go and cover with a lid. Remember to stir the soup occasionally!
- When you're ready to serve, stir in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until melted. Serve warm with all your favorite toppings piled on top!

Notes
- Store: Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors get even better with time!
- Reheat: Warm leftovers on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally. You can also reheat it in the microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between. If it has thickened too much, add a splash of broth or milk to loosen it up.
