Chicken Tortilla Soup


Chicken Tortilla Soup

Totally just made this up but Geoff says it is amazing so try it for yourself

1 can chicken broth
1 can 98% fat free cream of chicken
chicken breast cooked & cubed
2 cans corn (do not drain)
2 cans black beans
1/2 diced yellow onion
1-2 cans of green chillies
1 packet of fat free ranch seasoning
1/2 c fat free sour cream
1 tsp oregono
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt & pepper to taste

dump everything in and let simmer

bag of tortilla strips (can buy them where the croutons are)-- you only need to sprinkle a few of these on the soup. Not too much of it won't be so low cal anymore! A cup of this soup is all you really need to be satisfied without stuffing yourself.

*Big healthy living tip is watching your SERVING SIZE. In America everything is super-sized. One reason obesity is out of control! Geoff and I measure EVERYTHING we eat. Right down to our morning oatmeal or cereal. You can weigh your meat by getting a food scale for less than $10 at Walmart and also just by using a plain old measuring cup. It really lets you know how much food you're consuming and is a great tool in weight loss!

Yeah oh my gosh america is crazy about portion sizes! We should be eating our dinner on a salad plate and throwing the dinner plates away!
