In the bottom of your soup pan, drizzle your olive oil, then add minced onions, peppers, and garlic. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until onions become translucent in color.
Add in your seasonings, including, chili seasoning, cumin, red pepper seasoning, and any others you desire. Stir to combine.
Pour in chicken broth and stir so that no lumps remain from the seasonings. Turn heat to medium or medium-low.
Add canned diced tomatoes, canned crushed tomatoes, and your chicken that has been cooked and shredded. Cook over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until your soup is warmed through. This will typically take about 20 minutes.
When you serve your soup, dish it into your serving bowls, then add your desired toppings before you serve and enjoy.
Notes
If you want to make your soup a bit spicier you can substitute the sweet peppers for poblano peppers and, also add 3 tsp Jalapenos that are seeded and diced.
