In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, and taco seasoning to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the Soup:

Add the Chicken and Cream:
Stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
