How to Make Mexican Street Corn Soup
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and chopped jalapeño, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce the chicken breasts to the pot along with the fire-roasted corn and diced green chiles. Sprinkle in the Tajín seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in approximately 4 cups of chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces before returning it to the soup.
- Stir in the sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and lime juice, allowing the soup to simmer gently for another 3 minutes until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Ladle the delicious soup into bowls and finish with crumbled queso fresco and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an added zesty touch!

Notes
Optional: Top with sliced avocado for an extra creamy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, go low and slow to avoid curdling the dairy in the soup.
