Tortttttilla Soup

 Savory Tortilla Soup Haiku

Soup made from extra

Blended together so well 

Crunch up chips on top

Hello everyone! I am back again to tell you about our dinner this evening! With all the leftovers from Qdoba, it was necessary to put our nogins together and create something that incorporated what we had in the fridge. It was kind of fun to develop the soup as we went, throwing in a little of this and a little of that. Overall, I'd say we did a pretty bang up job! Everything we used blended together so well and it was an exceptional use of the ingredients we had. Here is the list of ingredients for this Tortilla Soup!

Ingredients 
2 chicken boobs
1 can (approx.) black beans
1 bag (approx.) frozen corn
1 can (approx.) pinto beans
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon hot chili's
4 cubes chicken bouillon
3-4 cans filled with water
salt
cumin

Directions
Boil the chicken until cooked, and then shred. Meanwhile, in a large pan combine black beans, pinto beans, corn, green pepper, hot chili's, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until heated through. Add water and chicken bouillon and increase heat to a simmer. Then, add the shredded chicken and stir in a pinch or two of salt and some cumin and let simmer about 10 minutes before serving. If you feel up to it, serve over white rice.

We had a bunch of toppings to add to the soup too. There was shredded cheese, sour cream, diced tomato, cilantro, green onion, green salsa and tortilla chips. I put each one of these things on top of my tortilla soup, and it was just the right touch.

Kara, Juli, Anna and I all sat around the dinner table and enjoyed this "anything goes" tortilla soup. It was a great way to end the buzzing weekend and get ready for the week ahead. Now its time for some Real Housewives of New Jersey, adios!
