Chicken Tortilla Soup

Erin: Remember when we were in college, living at the dorms and we used to go to the dining hall and get tortilla soup in a bread bowl?? I don't think I've had tortilla soup since then but I found a quick and easy recipe for it and eating it brought back those lovely college memories. The soup was really easy (since you basically use everything from a can) and it was really good! It was really filling & it made for a lovely lunch the next day. Try this recipe and you won't regret it ;)




Ingridients:
1 can chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 tbs. taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can whole kernel corn 
1 can diced green chiles (Just in case you don't know where these are, you can find them on the Hispanic aisle of the grocery store. I looked forever to try to find these and I was having a mini-break down in the store because I couldn't find them! I had to call mom, who calmed me down and told me where to look!) 
3-4 chicken breasts cooked & shredded (or you can use a rotisserie chicken, like I did. It was easy and the chicken was flavorful and moist)


What to do:
1. Combine the chicken broth, cream of chicken and taco seasoning in a pot on medium heat & whisk together until blended
2. Add the shredded chicken & stir
3. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes and green chiles.
4. Mix well and stir over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.

Top with cheddar or monterey cheese and tortilla chips! Yum!
