Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles

2 cans chicken broth

1 can refried beans

1 can black beans, drained

2/3 c. canned/frozen corn

2 1/2 c. shredded chicken (I just use canned chicken if I'm in a hurry!)

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. salt

freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 small limes, juiced
handful chopped cilantro (amount is matter of personal preference)

Directions:

Combine broth, tomatoes, corn, and spices. Slowly work in the refried beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat; add chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is heated through. Add lime juice and cilantro to soup, stir into soup, then remove from heat and serve. Optional toppings for individual servings: cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, salsa, green onions, diced fresh jalepenos, etc.

This was really good, and REALLY easy. I think I might add some diced, fresh jalepenos next time for some more heat. It's not really spicy at all, but it still is very flavorful.

Place all ingredients in large pot, and simmer for 15 min. Serve with sour cream, g...
