Soup Makin’ Weather

As much as I DON’T love cold weather, I DO love cold weather food…mainly, SOUP!  I LOVE soup!!  I’ll eat soup any time of the year, but I think it tastes SO much better when it’s cold outside!  I tried out a new soup recipe the other night and it was a hit :)  I always know when I’ve struck gold if  Mr. Spouse goes back for 2nds…and then 3rds…and then eats the leftovers the next day.  If you’re lookin’ for a D-lish {& ridiculously easy} soup recipe, you’ve gotta try this!!!

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

1 can chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 tbsp taco seasoning

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can black beans

1 can whole kernel corn

1 can diced green chiles

3-4 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded

***Team Carroll version:  we use rotisserie chicken because it’s SO much easier and SO much faster!!  Plus, the rotisserie chicken is a lot more flavorful!!  We also use monterey jack & colby cheese for topping when it’s ready to be served and we eat it with the Mission style round tortilla chips…M-m-m-m-m.***

Combine chicken broth, cream of chicken, & taco seasoning in a pot on medium heat {stovetop} & whisk together until blended.

Mix well & keep on on medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring often.    When it’s all ready to eat, top with cheese & serve with tortilla chips.  We crumbled some in our soup and it was D-lish!!!!  I bet it would be yummy topped with a little sour cream, too.  I’m just sayin’…

Oh my...this is delicious! I made a batch at lunchtime today and am on my second helping! I made a few modifications/assumptions below:
--did not add any water to the cream-o-chicken soup but added a little more chicken broth
--drained the seasoned black beans (but not rinsed)
--used Rotel with green chile's
--used corn with peppers
--added 1/4 cup chopped onion
--served with green onion,shred cheese, and sour cream
LOVE this!!
