On a rainy day like today I love to eat hot soups.  Here is one of my favorites, its simple and delocious!  My kids love it, too!

 

Chicken Tortilla Soup

• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3- 4 oz cans chopped mild green chilis
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 can corn (drained)
• 6 cups chicken broth

Directions

Boil chicken until tender. Drain and cool. Cut into cubes or shred. Heat oil in large pot over med-hi heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Stir in garlic, chilies, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper and saute 2 min. Add undrained beans and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken and corn. to chili and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

 

Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, avacado, or anything else you like. (I personally like to top it with shredded cheese and a squeeze of lime).
