Taco Soup

Love this meal!! My daughter who won't touch ANY vegetable will even eat the tomatoes in this.

Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts cooked and cut into cubes
small onion (I just toss in some dry minced onions)
28 oz. can tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can of corn
(I only drain the black beans. I leave the juice in the others.)
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
1 can chicken broth
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic (I just sprinkle in some garlic powder because I never seem to have garlic on hand.)
Simmer on stove until heated through and ready to eat.

(My sister puts this in a crock pot and doesn't cook the chicken first. Depending on your schedule, either way works good.)

Sprinkle cheese on top, put a little bit of sour cream on top and you could serve with tortilla chips too. Granted, all those things will up the calorie and fat value of this meal but dang it.... it makes it taste all the better. (Did I say that out loud?) Okay... if you must... use baked tortilla chips, fat free sour cream and that NASTY, I mean better for you, low fat cheese. Or just skip all those garnishes and you won't know what you're missing out on anyway.

This sound really good. I have a recipe for something similar, but it's made with ground beef and the ingredients are just a little different. I will definitely try this! Thanks Angie!

Angie, you're so funny!
I think the avocado sounds really good on it!

I made this for dinner a few nights ago, and my hubby and I both liked it! It has a nice flavor...not too strong, but strong enough...if that makes sense. I stirred some sour cream and shredded colby jack cheese on it, and thought it tasted great! If I'd had some tortilla chips I probably would have crumbled some of those in there. And in my opinion, anything with avocado has my vote!
