SCT: Chicken Tortilla Soup

Filed under: Ashley — March 22, 2007 @ 7:04 am

This is another well-loved recipe that we have fairly regularly.  On Monday I bought the canned ingredients at the 99 cents store, used left-over chicken (From Amie’s California Chicken recipe) and stale chips. It only cost me $5 to feed my family! 

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breast halves (I often use left-over chicken of chicken thighs)
  • 2 15oz cans of black beans, undrained (or one 28oz can)
  • 2 15 oz cans of Mexican stewed tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 4oz can of chopped green chili’s (you can substitute fresh green pepper)
  • 1 14.5 oz can of tomato sauce
  • tortilla chips
  • grated cheese (optional, but delicious)

Directions:

  1. Combine everything except the chips and the cheese
  2. Cook on low for 8 hours
  3. To serve put a handful of chips in each individual soup bowl. Ladle soup over chips and top with cheese

    This looks so much better than my recipe! Its gotten cold again here in Kansas, so I am going to try it.
    Ok, if I link back to it when I do my Menu Plan Monday?

  5. Sarah:

    Wow. I was just talking to someone the other day about my sister’s CTS recipe. How it has like 100 different ingredients thus making it a bit expensive. Though it does freeze well. Thanks Ash! I’ll have to try this one.

    hey.. any luck with the blog yet?

  6. Sandra:

    Great recipe, thank you for sharing :)
