Introduction
I make this soup all the time. If you have extra's just freeze them. It's all natural and really healthy. If you choose not to add taco seasoning packets you could always use chili powder and cumin. Also adding garlic would be good too. Serve with light cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips if you like. Just not too much! I make this soup all the time. If you have extra's just freeze them.

Ingredients
-
1 lb chicken breasts
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes (chili flavor)
1 green/yellow/red/orange pepper (any kind will work)
1 diced yellow or white onion
1/2 jalapeno (I don't like it real spicy)
1 small bag of frozen corn (you could use a little less if this seems like too much)
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1-2 packs of your favorite taco seasoning (I have mine in a jar so I just guessed on the amount) or use chili powder and cumin
Water-you can add water if you want it to have more of a soupy consistency rather than a thick stew, also note that the more liquid you use the more seasoning you may need.
Salt and pepper as desired (when I use taco seasoning packets I don't use extra salt)
Directions
1. Boil the chicken until cooked through, let cool in cold water, then shred, and set aside.
2. Cut up your onion, pepper, and jalapeno, set aside.
3. Add all your wet ingredients to a large pot (tomatoes and sauce as well as water if you choose) One can of water should be plenty.
4. Add chicken, cut veggies, corn, and seasoning to the pot.
5. Cook on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until peppers and onions are cooked through.
6. Top with some Mexican or cheddar cheese, and or cream cheese (not included in calories) as well as a side of tortilla chips or a few tortilla strips on top (also not included in calories). Enjoy!
Serving Size: Not really sure because it depends on if you use water. About 7-8 1 cup servings.

Thanks girl! The calories might not be exact because I went by memory when I wrote this. I had made this over a week ago and then ate some that I had froze so I had to create the recipe to log my calories. Hope you like it! :)
