Chicken Lime Soup

The original of this recipe came from kraftfoods.com, but, like often happens at my house, it's been altered a bit.

 

Ingredients:

1 14 oz can diced tomatoes with juice

2 Tbsp chopped chipotle or Anaheim peppers (can add more or less for heat)

1 chopped onion

3 cloves minced garlic

2 tsp oregano leaves

1 bay leaf

1-2 cups cooked chicken

6 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup lime juice

1 can black beans

salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions:

Mix tomatoes, chili pepper, onion, garlic, oregano and bay leaf in a large pan.  Cook on med-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add chicken, broth and lime juice.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.  Simmer 20 mins.  Add can of beans and heat through.  Remove bay leaf.  Season with salt & pepper, if desired.

 

Cheese, cilantro and chips make this yummy.

 

*In a hurry, use a can of Rotel instead of chopping peppers.  Don't have cooked chicken, use fresh and brown it at the beginning with the other vegies and spices.
