Instructions

  1. Melt butter in olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Add chicken and onions; sauté for about 3 minutes until the onions are soft.
  2. Add bell peppers, garlic, flour, and all seasonings/spices. Cook while stirring constantly for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in rice, black beans, green chilies, crushed tomatoes, and 3 cans of chicken broth. Mix cornstarch with the last can of chicken broth before adding it to the soup. Bring everything to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer while stirring occasionally for about 8-12 minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Check occasionally as cooking time may vary based on how long it takes to reach boiling.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add additional chicken broth or water as needed. Garnish individual servings with desired toppings such as avocado or cilantro before serving.
