Tortilla Soup

Okay, another quick one. This is a soup recipe that our friend and co-worker Debbie put into a recipe we were giving to another of our co-workers. It's quick, easy, and very tasty!

Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1 can (10 oz) chicken OR 3 chicken breasts, boiled and chopped
1 can (15 1/4 oz) whole kernel corn with liquid
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa, chunky style
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a pot.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until refried beans are completely mixed with other ingredients.
3. Turn down heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in cheese.

To serve, put some tortilla chips (I prefer Frito's) in the bottom of your bowl and add soup over it. Toss some more cheese on top if you'd like. I used a Mexican blend of cheese instead of plain cheddar.

Notes: This recipe is easily scaled up for larger crowds.
