Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup


This soup is AMAZING and EASY . It uses only 6 canned ingredients, and taco seasoning. Serve with a few tortilla chips on top along with a little shredded medium cheddar cheese. For added flavor chop 1/4 bunch of Cilantro and add just when serving.
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (14.5 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
1 (10-12 ounce) can chunk chicken
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 oz) diced tomatoes with jalapenos (or green chilies) with juice
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
Empty all cans into a large saucepan, add taco seasoning and stir. Simmer over medium heat until chicken is heated through. Add chopped cilantro if desired, (I thought it was best this way), then top with a few shreds of cheddar cheese. If you really want a pretty presentation, put a tiny dollop of low fat sour cream. Yummmm Makes about 6 servings of 225 calories each.

Success Story:

"My wife and I have taken GSE for over 8 years. She was having terrible sinus infections regularly, and I was having trouble with allergies. We were introduced to GSE MAX by a friend, and have experienced such a turn around. My wife has not had a single sinus infection since, over 8 years! My allergies are non-existent now. GSE Max is a necessity for both of us, we wouldn't go a day without it."~Neil P., Iowa
