Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion without browning until it is very soft and translucent, about 7-9 minutes. Add the garlic and polenta and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chipotles, tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender, or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan. Add the black beans and corn and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
Divide the soup into individual bowls and top with tortilla chips, radishes, cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
