I come from a long line of ladies who cook. My Grandma C. was unbelievable, she taught my mother and having them around, I just did the basic's. With Grandma's passing and my mother not interested in cooking anymore, HERE I go ! Let's cook together.

WW Improved Soup

 This is based on Weight watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup.

But, I needed meat in mine, (of course)

3 chicken breast, no skin or bone, in a pot of about 6 cups of water.
add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Cook until the chicken is done
Or if you are cooking Grilled Chicken the night before do 2-3  extra and
use 4 cups of Can Chicken Broth (easier)


Pull chicken out and shred.


1 cup Chopped Onions Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves
3 Green Onions Chopped
 3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro
Spray pan with spray oil.
Cook these 6 in a pan, to make everything tender 10-15 minutes

Pour Chicken broth through a strainer and back into pot.(if homemade)

 Add Shredded Chicken

Add the rest of the ingredients  to the broth

Add
2 - 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like
1 can Whole Corn - Or fresh off the cob
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon basil


Simmer and let cook down.

Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips

 Suggestions

  • When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it's wonderful.

  • Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.

  • You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don't want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth

  • This is a make it your own soup.

  • We eat this year round, mostly I think because it's a great solo-lunch for me.
