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!!
