Recipe

OK - so this has been a HUGE fav for Matt and I - and it's SO EASY! There are easy ways to vary it, so I'll put those in ( )s. You can totally make this healthy by using low fat soup, cheese and limit the tortillas or chips!
Enjoy!!
CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
1 lb, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (we use Tyson Fajita Chicken Strips - 3 packages)
2 cans cream of chicken soup - 103/4 oz cans
1 soup can water
1 cup salsa
1 15 oz can of black beans
2 cups frozen corn
1 tsp. cumin
4 6" corn tortillas, cut into strips (or - don't use these and serve with tortilla chips!)
1 cup cheddar cheese (or the fun taco or mexican cheese!)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro

Mix in chicken, soup, water, salsa, beans, corn and cumin. Cook in slow cooker (crockpot) on low for 4.5-5 hours (or on high from 2-2.5 hours on high) - or until chicken is cooked through (if you use Tyson strips - it shouldn't take as long). Then add tortillas, cheese and cilantro. Cook for 15 more minutes on low. Serve and enjoy!

Not sure how many servings it makes. We devour it.

Sounds really good!
Tony and I had something like this when we were in Mexico. It was delicious.
I'll add it to my recipe book.
Thanks!
