Quick Recipe: Tortilla Soup

Blog Mama Monica is taking a break while they move across town. In the meantime, here is the first Quick Recipe in our series.

From Adelle: Super easy, healthy, flavorful (not spicy) and kid-friendly!
Prep time: 30 minutes

1 Rotisserie Chicken (from the grocery store) with bones removed.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, or just shred with your fingers.
1 T. olive oil
1 t. chopped garlic
1/2 yellow onion, diced fine
1 can Bush's Seasoned Black Beans, drained
1 can Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic
1 c. Trader Joe's frozen Roasted Corn*
2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp ground cumin

Saute onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil in the bottom of a 2 quart pan till translucent. Add beans, tomatoes (and juice), chicken stock, corn, cumin and shredded/chopped chicken.

Bring to a simmer. Serve whenever you're ready! This tastes even better the next day. Let your kids choose their own garnishes - we like fresh cilantro, a bit of sour cream or cheese (Cotija or Monterey Jack), sliced fresh avocado and/or tortilla chips.

*This is what makes this soup taste fabulous - plain frozen corn just doesn't bring the same flavor!
