The Famous Chicken Tortilla Soup

Even if you don't like chicken tortilla soup from any restaurant I know you will like this one. This is the only CTS I have ever found to actually like. My friends have been asking me for the recipe lately so I thought I would share it here. It is so easy I made it recently on a girls week-end get away. It make a lot but you can half it or freeze the portion not eaten for another time which is what I often do with my husband and I. Even though my son doesn't like it my niece does so even if you have children you will be able to serve this. I hope you enjoy!

The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup Ever!!

2 cans of Tomato soup
2 cans of Chicken Broth
2 cans of Beef Broth
2 cans of Pinto Beans
2 cans of Kidney Beans
2 cans of Rotelle tomatoes (original)
-It is a brand name it has chili's in it but it is mild as long as you get the original
1 can diced mild green chili's
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
3 or 4 chicken breast cut into cubes

toppings suggested, to taste
-tortilla chips
-avocado
-sour cream
-shredded cheese

Put all the ingredients in the same pot and bring to a boil, turn heat down slightly and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Soup is finished when the chicken floats.
-You can use already cooked chicken but I think it hold the flavor better if you cook it in the soup, reduce the time if you use already cooked chicken.


On a different note my cousins family has set up a web-site for her son who was just diagnosed with Leukemia and you can check it out if you want. www.rally4ridgway.com Thanks for all your prayers they are coveted!!

I finished Junes Circle Journal

I am so excited I just finished June Circle Journal pages for my friend Jorgie. Elena from Scrapbook Royalty and 11 other really talented ladies are doing a scrapbook of each others last year in a circle journal fashion. Well I was so excited about the idea and concept when they first announced it that I asked a group of my close friends if they would want to do the same thing. We started in February sending out pictures from January or whenever they chose and we are scrapping each others pictures. One person each month you send your pictures to and one person each month you get pictures from. It has been a blast. I have challenged myself to think outside the box and learn new techniques for this project. I hope and pray that some of them are not to far out there for the person receiving them. I am excited to see the finished project next January.

Here are the pages I created for Jorgie with her pictures of her sweet boy Adin.
