  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped (any color)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika, stirring to combine. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
