This recipe was given to me by a good friend a couple of years ago, and I've been making it ever since. We love Mexican food, and bowls of this pack enough flavor to please even my husband. —Emily Fast of Leavenworth, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups fresh corn or frozen corn
  • 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 16 baked tortilla chip scoops, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

  • In a Dutch oven, saute chicken in oil until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion and jalapeno pepper until tender. Add garlic and saute; cook 1 minute longer.

Yum! What a declicious, easy soup! I used 3 cans of broth and added a can of diced tomatoes with jalepenos. The result was a perfect texture and combination of flavors!
