Southwestern Chicken Tortilla Soup


I got this recipe from one of my husband's co-workers, Shelly.

6 Servings

Ingredients:
*2 containers Member's Mark brand Southwestern Tortilla Soup from Sam's Club
* half a bag of frozen chicken fajita meat
*2 cans fat-free chicken broth
*baked tortilla chips
*shredded 2% Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
*water, as needed to get desired thinness of soup

Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat containers of soup and chicken broth over medium low heat, stirring often.  Meanwhile, pour frozen chicken into a medium skillet.  Heat on medium heat until the chicken is hot.  Add the chicken to the soup.  Stir frequently.  Add water if you need to make it thinner.

Place a few baked tortilla chips in the bottom of some individual bowls.  Once the soup is hot, ladle into bowls on top of chips, and top with cheese.

This goes great with a green salad on the side.

*Note:  I buy 4 containers at a time and freeze 2 for another time.  You only use half a bag of frozen chicken fajita meat, so use the other half for the remaining 2 containers for another easy week night meal.
