Mexican Shredded Chicken Soup

Mexican Shredded Chicken Soup

A fantastically flavorful and slightly spicy Mexican soup made with shredded chicken and black beans. I usually make this in the morning and let it simmer all day to let the flavors blend. Optional toppings: avocado, tortilla chips, green onion, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
