Chicken Tortilla Soup

Name: Chicken Tortilla Soup
Prep time: 30 min
Ingredients: 2 Pounds Chicken Breasts; 1 48 Ounce Box Low Sodium Chicken Broth; 2 Cans Black Beans or 3 1/2 Cups cooked Black Beans; 1 4.5 Ounce Can Green Chiles; 2 Cans Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chilies; 1 Can Corn Or Frozen; 1 Large Red Onion Chopped; 1 Green Pepper Chopped; Corn Tortillas; Chili Powder; Cumin; Fresh Garlic; Cilantro Lime

This is one of my all-time favorite soups to have to simmer on the stove in the Winter. Chicken Tortilla Soup has a distinctive aroma when it is cooking all day. It is truly a simple soup to make. You can either use chicken right out of the freezer and toss it in a pot of water, boil it, then pull it apart. This gives you some good non-salty chicken stock. You can also take chicken right out of the can. I boil a lot of my chicken ahead of time and dice it up and freeze it so I can pull together different dishes during the week quickly and easily. This gives you the healthy chicken broth.

Chicken Tortilla Soup has many variations. Google Chicken Tortilla Soup and you are swimming in recipes. I use a low salt chicken broth from Whole Foods to keep the sodium level down. This soup is perfect on a cold winters day! Simmer the soup for about an hour and it is ready to be eaten. We like adding a big green salad with this and eat that all day. You can top it with sour cream or a Greek yogurt spiced with cumin and chili powder.
