8 Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

It was a busier than usual day so a quicker than usual dinner was in order. The family was hungry so I whipped up a homemade soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich guaranteed to satisfy. I always have these 8 cans on hand for a delicious homemade soup. Honest , it’s as good as any restaurant’s version.
 

 
8 Can Chicken Tortilla Soup (Cook time 15 minutes, Servings 5)
Open all eight cans into a large stock pot.
• 1 (15 oz) can of whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 (14.5 oz) cans of chicken broth
• 1 (10 oz) can chunk chicken (or you could use leftover if you have it)
• 1 (15oz) can black beans, drained really well
• 1 (15oz) can chili beans with sauce
• 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies peppers
• 1 (4 oz) can diced chilies

ADD:
  •  ½ teaspoon chili powder
  •  ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  •  ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  •  1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  •  ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
Simmer all the ingredients over medium heat until the chicken is heated through. Serve topped with thin tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese. You can also add sour cream and avocado if you feel wild.
