I've made a million variations of this soup before, but tonight I decided to just throw it together on my own instead of using a recipe. I think it was better than any recipe I've tried. Stanton concurred. Recording here so I can do it again.
1/2 red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 14.5 oz. can Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (Western Family brand)
2 14 oz. cans Reduced Sodium FF Chicken Broth
1 14 oz. can Black Beans, rinsed & drained
2 Chicken Breasts (from a rotisserie chicken), skin removed and breast roughly chopped
Pinch of Cumin
Juice of 1 Lime
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Sautee onion & garlic in olive oil. Add tomatoes and let simmer for a couple of minutes while rinsing and draining beans. Add chicken broth, black beans, chicken, & lime juice. Let simmer till ready to serve. A couple of minutes before serving, add cilantro.

I added 1/3 small avocado for another 2 P+ and crushed a few Tostitos Hint of Lime chips (6 of them are 3 P+, but I didn't add that many -- maybe 2? ).
This was so yummy -- the chiles in the tomatoes gave it awesome heat, but not so much that the bright freshness of the tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice were overpowered. A definite winner.
