6 Can Tortilla Soup

This is one of the best and easiest recipes EVER!!!  I of course took pictures of the process for dramatics (and for you Leah).  So follow along!

family 001You might be asking yourself why there are only five cans.  Well, it is because I prefer to use frozen corn instead of canned corn.

You take all of these ingredients and dump them all into a medium pot.  Turn the heat to medium.  Once the mixture starts to come together and boil a little, turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Just a couple of tidbits:  use 1 can of drained mexicorn or about half a bag of frozen kernels.  Completely drain and rinse the black beans,  You can totally use rotisserie chicken or chicken breast, but the canned WHITE chunk chicken is really good and quick.  If you use the canned chicken, you might want to shred apart the chunks.  I also add a couple of dashes of chile powder and cumin, but it is still GREAT without!  Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and of course a tasty Mexican beverage!
