Marci's Tortilla Soup

I have made this soup too many times to count. I always double it because it makes great leftover lunches. This is super easy to make and tastes great too! Recipe from What's On My Menu.

Ingredients:
1 TBS olive oil
1 (12.5 oz.) can chicken (do NOT drain) (I like to use leftover chicken or rot. chicken)
1/2 cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp ground cumin (heaping)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder (heaping)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 (14 ½ oz.) can chicken broth
1 (15 ¼ oz.) can corn kernels (do NOT drain)
1 (15 oz.) can black beans (rinse and drain)
1 (14 ½ oz.) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes (cut up)

Heat oil and saute onion and garlic over medium heat. Add chicken and seasonings and cook for a couple of minutes. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. I always add extra water to mine to thin it out. I like the extra broth! Let simmer for at least 15 minutes.

Toppings:
tortilla strips (see below)
fresh cilantro
diced avocado
sour cream
cheese
