This recipe has been passed around my family for many years. It’s a delicious broth based version of a typically cream based tortilla soup.  So, here is the recipe with the few changes I made:

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts
1 - 1 LB Can Crushed Tomatoes - with juice
1 - 8 oz Can of Tomato Sauce
3 Cloves of Garlic - grated
1 Medium Onion
1 TBS Olive Oil
2 Cans of Corn Niblets
2 Cans Black Beans (Rinsed & Drained)
8 Cups of Chicken Broth
1 1/2 tsps Cumin
1 tsp Black Pepper
Garlic Powder (a few Dashes)
Cayenne Pepper (to taste)
1 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro (Remove from stems & Coarsely Chop)
Sour Cream
Tortilla Chips

Directions:

Season Chicken with Garlic Powder and Crushed Red Pepper and cook completely (Broil, Bake, Boil, or Grill). Next, Saute Onions & Garlic in 1 TBS Olive Oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Once softened, add Crushed Tomatoes and Tomato Sauce. Mix thoroughly and then add chicken broth, black beans, corn, cooked chicken (cubed) and seasonings (Cumin, Pepper, Garlic Powder, salt...). Simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Serve with plenty of Grated Cheese (I used Cheddar & Monterey Jack), Sour Cream, Cilantro, and Crushed Tortilla Chips.
