- 1 28-ounce can tomato puree
- ½ small can (3 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
- ½ can (2 ounces) diced (mild) green chiles
- 1 ½ cups (12 fluid ounces) chicken stock
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 10 ounces frozen whole kernel corn

- 4 ounces shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack recommended)

Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 6 minutes.
- Add the remaining olive oil and stir in the gluten-free flour blend until thickened and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Lower the heat and stir in the tomato puree, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, green chiles, chicken stock, and spices. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Submerge the chicken breasts in the soup, cover, and cook for 8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. For a vegetarian version, omit chicken entirely.
- Mix in the black beans, corn, and refried beans. Stir until evenly combined.
- Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
