Want soup? Hope you like it spicy!


Today's recipe is, yes, another soup. It's a really good one for several reasons: first, it's healthy; second, it's easy; and third, it's really filling. Aaron gives this one the highest ratings; at our house, the leftovers never last long.

One of the nice things about this recipe is that the ingredients can be found at almost any grocery store. Most are inexpensive, too.

Here's hoping you like it as much as we do.

This recipe is one I received from my mom.

Tortilla Soup

2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 stalk celery
2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth
1 clove garlic
2 (15 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes, choppe
1 (4 oz.) cans chopped green chilies
1/2 pkg. taco seasoning (2 tbsp.)
1/2 cup sour cream

Saute onion and celery in a pot coated with cooking spray. Add chicken, broth, garlic, tomatoes, chilies and taco seasoning. Simmer about 1 hour. Add sour cream; simmer 15 additional minutes. Put in serving bowls; garnish with tortilla chips and shredded cheese.

Cook's notes: Avocados would make a nice garnish for this soup. Next time, I plan to add some corn for added color and sweetness. I might even add some pinto or black beans for a little extra fiber and protein. And, if you can get past it -- now would be a good time to add some cilantro.
