Chicken Tortilla Soup





Soup Season! My favorite season of the year. This is a very delicious version of Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 T. butter
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 quarts chicken broth or stock (or I like to do 1 quart stock and 2 cups chicken broth made with BTB)
1 3/4 cup chunky sala
1 cup frozen petite white corn
1 can black beans,drained
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded OR 1 whole rotisserie chicken deboned and shredded OR two or three cans chicken breast
Tortilla strips or chips
Garnishes for topping the soup: Cilantro, sour cream, avocado, lime juice 
Melt butter in large sauce pan. Add green pepper, onion, and cumin. Saute' until tender. Stir in broth, salsa, corn, and beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for a few minutes. Add chicken. Heat through. Ladel into bowls and top with tortilla strips. Add garnishes of your choice. The lime juice is delicious.
