¹⁄₄ tsp chili powder

¹⁄₄ tsp mustard powder
¹⁄₄ tsp garlic powder
¹⁄₄ tsp onion powder
1 pinches cinnamon
1 pinches cayenne pepper

Soup

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion (diced)

1 jalapeno (diced with seeds removed)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
10 oz red enchilada sauce
10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilis (undrained)
15 oz canned whole kernel corn (drained)
15 oz black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups rotisserie chicken
4 oz cream cheese (cubed and softened)
1 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
¹⁄₂ cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded (or more cheddar)

Instructions

Prep Work: Combine the seasonings and set aside. Take out the cream cheese and allow it to soften.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and the peppers. Soften for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add all remaining ingredients except for the cream cheese and shredded cheese.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil and allow the chicken to slowly cook through (a rapid boil will make it tough). About 15-20 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the softened cream cheese until combined, then stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
Taste and add any additional seasonings as needed, then serve!
