Best Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup

Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside. Add another drizzle of oil in the same pan and add the red onion, jalapeno, bell pepper and zucchini. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and dried oregano. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add the black beans, tomatoes, chicken broth and seared chicken back in the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Cook for 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken and shred it with two forks. With the chicken removed, add the lime juice, coconut milk or half and half and tortilla chips then blend the soup & veggies with an immersion blender or in small batches with a regular blender. Add the chicken back in and serve with your toppings.
