Chicken Tortilla Soup

-->

*This is one of my favorite, easy recipes to make for the family. Even the kids will eat it. I just make sure to use mild salsa to keep it "cool" enough for their tastes. It also freezes well. ENJOY!

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans (may sub 1 can red beans)

1 30 oz can tomato sauce

1 16 oz can chopped tomato w/ jalapenos

2 small cans roasted green chilies

1 cup salsa

1 can corn

2-4 chicken breasts

*tortilla chips, sour cream, avocado and cheese for toppings

Directions:

Put all ingredients into a large pot or crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. (I prefer 6 hrs, chicken shreds more easily)

You may even use frozen chicken.

Pull out chicken at end and shred with 2 forks.

Put back into soup pot and simmer 15 more minutes if desired. (not necessary)
