Holy Carnitas Mexican Chicken Soup

Prep 15 min · Cook 45 min · Serves 6

A hearty Mexican-style chicken soup with black beans, corn, tomatoes and jalapeño, ready in an hour and enough for six. Holy Carnitas does the work of a spice cupboard: cumin, chili, oregano and a little sumac give the broth depth with no long list of spices.
