Recipe: Easy Tortilla Soup

I love quick and easy recipes that are tasty and relatively nutritious. This is one of those recipes and is great for school nights and a good way to use up leftover chicken. The recipe comes from the Super Quick Tortilla Soup recipe that appeared in a Trader Joe’s flyer several months ago. Here I give measurements and further ideas.

4 cups low sodium chicken broth (1 aseptic container)
2 cups or 1 can diced tomato
2 cups or 1 can corn
2 cups or 1 can black beans
1-2 cups chopped cooked chicken (or 1 can of chicken)
12 oz jar salsa
Tortilla chips

Bring broth to a boil. Add in next 5 ingredients (tomato through salsa). Reduce heat to medium and cook until heated through. Serve hot topped with tortilla chips.

You could also add a bit of rice or cilantro for additional flavor and perhaps serve with a dollop of sour cream.
