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.

Myth: It's Better to eat several "mini-meals: than three big meals.

FACT: Although there is a slight increase in metabolic rate and calorie-burning after eating and this could be increased by several smaller meals rather than a few big ones, the difference is minuscule. We are back to  the same basic rule; calories are calories, whether in several small bunches a day or a few big ones. source: INRseminars.com
