Part 8 of my Soup Series: Chicken, Tortilla Soup ! #recipe #chickentortillasoup

chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Chicken thighs are often cheaper and more flavorful.

black beans

🥗Healthier: pinto beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are convenient and save time.

tortilla strips

🥗Healthier: baked tortilla chips

💰Cheaper: tortillas

Baked chips are lower in fat, and tortillas can be cut and baked.

Start by adding olive oil to a pot.

Chop and add bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant.

Squeeze in lime juice for flavor.

Add chicken bouillon, Rotel, black beans, and a mixture of corn to the pot.

Boil your own chicken and use the pot liquor (the liquid left from boiling the chicken) instead of chicken broth.

Add the boiled chicken back into the pot with the other ingredients.

Stir in heavy whipping cream and season with Cajun seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
