Mexican Tortilla Soup
(Mr.Food's Quick and Easy Diabetic Cooking)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) of ready to use, reduced sodium chicken broth
1 package (10 ounces) of frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup of salsa
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
1 cup of broken-up baked tortilla chips
In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, bell pepper, and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the chicken is browned on the outside, stirring frequently. Stir in the chicken broth, corn, and salsa; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the cilantro. Ladle into bowls and top with baked chips.
