A great soup recipe

So this week Clayton and I tried a new recipe we found on the back of a refried bean can. It was actually really good and low in calories. It does have a little kick to it so I don't know how well kids would like it. We wanted to share it with ya'll.

Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 cans (14.5 ounce each) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chillies
2 cans (14.5 ounce each) Chicken broth
1 can (16 ounce) Rosarita no-fat refried beans
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
2 cups shredded cooked chicken

Combine tomatoes and broth in a saucepan. Stir in beans and corn. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add chicken and heat through.

Top with tortilla chips and cheese.

Make about 10 cups. Serving size is 1 cup. 93 calories per serving (just the soup).

The chips and cheese is where all your calories come in. You can decide how much of those to put on yourself.

I was thinking of trying 1 can tomatoes and chillies and 1 can just tomatoes to see if that takes a bit of the kick out (but Clayton and I like the kick so who knows).

Enjoy!
