Foodie Friday…Tortilla Soup!


TGIF y’all!  So I am a big fan of using leftovers and I came up with a great recipe this week.  A while back I showed you guys my easiest recipe of all time for Chicken Tacos.  The crockpot recipe with two ingredients:  chicken and salsa.

Here is the recipe again.

The last time I made it we still had about half the chicken left after eating it once.  That’s when I decided to turn it into soup.  So yummy and easy, so I have to share.  This is all I did:

Take leftover chicken and salsa mixture (chicken should be shredded) and add to about 6 cups of chicken stock/ broth (I made my own with bullion cubes).  I added cilantro and cumin to taste, a heaping Tablespoon of minced garlic, a can of corn, and a can of black beans.  I brought the soup to a simmer and ground in some black pepper.  After ladling the soup into bowls, I topped them with shredded cheese and Fritos.  (Sour cream would be really yummy too!)

That’s it!  Another easy recipe from a recipe that was already easy.  🙂  Have a great weekend!
