Heat a large, deep pot(soup pot) over medium high heat. Add 3 Tb olive oil and allow it to heat through. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 3 tsp garlic (minced) to oil. Cook until the onions are translucent and a bit golden.
Add chicken, cooking until mostly browned. Doesn't have to be cooked all the way through as the boiling soup will finish the cooking process.
Add water, black beans (drained), corn, Rotel, green chili's and enchilada sauce, then stir.
Add boullion, chili power, cumin, black pepper and stir again, mixing well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, add crushed tortilla chips and simmer for 10 minutes.
Prior to serving, add 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, stirring well.
Place soup into bowls and garish with chopped cilantro, more cheese and crushed tortilla chips (to taste)
To crush tortilla chips, place them in a zip log bag, remove air and seal. Pound until crushed with a tenderizing mallet. Alternatively, you could substitute 1 cup Masa Harina.
For a time saver, you could use rotisserie chicken instead, skipping cooking the chicken in step 2.
