Tortilla Soup


This recipe has become another regular and favorite at our house. In fact, I have taught all the older girls how to make this soup since it is their favorite and has even been their birthday meal request!

2 chicken breasts, cubed
2 (14 oz) can chicken broth
1 (14 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes and chilies)
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn or 1/2 cup frozen corn
2 tbsp. taco seasoning
2 cups water
crushed tortilla chips
shredded cheddar cheese

Cook chicken. Add rest of ingredients (except chips and cheese). Bring to boil and simmer until ready to eat. Serve and top with crushed chips and cheese.
TIPS: I often times use the water from boiling the chicken as the base for my soup and flavor with boullion cubes. By adding the cans of broth and boullion it gives it more flavor and makes a larger soup. I also have learned to add about 1/2 packet of taco seasoning because it seems like my family likes this a little spicier! You can also add more beans or corn to make the soup as large as you need.

Ingredients: chicken, chicken broth, chicken boullion, Rotel, kidney beans, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, tortilla chips, cheese
