Chicken Tortilla Soup


This recipe if from my sister-in-law, and has a few changes.  I love how quick and easy it is!  It could be another food storage recipe if you used canned chicken and dried onion flakes.

Ingredients:
1/4 C onion, diced
3 cans chicken broth
3 cans cream of chicken soup
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 C salsa
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can corn

Saute onion in small amount of chicken broth.  Add cream of chicken, remaining chicken broth, and shredded chicken.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients.  Simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve with tortilla chips, cheese, avocado, tomato, diced green onion, sour cream.  (In this picture, I didn't have any tomato or green onion).

I made this one time using left over rotisserie chicken, and it was really yummy.  Now that is what I use fairly often. I will just buy one and use half of it one night, then the next night make this soup using the other half.  I used medium salsa, and it was a little too spicy for my kids, but great for me.  I also have made small batches using only 1 can of cream of chicken and chicken broth, then just whatever amount looked good for the rest of the ingredients.

Easy Taco Soup

I first loved this recipe because it was so quick and easy.  I thought it would make a great food storage recipe because you can just subsitute the hamburger with canned chicken or something.  (I'm adding a food storage label by the way, so please share any great recipes you have for that topic!)  Anyway, not only is it easy, it is really yummy!  Jessica Stevenson contributed it to a summer sales cookbook. 

1 can corn
1 can green beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 can stewed tomaties
1 can tomato sauce
1lb ground beef
1/2 pkg. taco seasoning

Put all the cans of veggies in pot (Do NOT strain any of them).  Brown the ground beef and add to soup pot.  Add taco seasoning (to taste), then heat up!  Serve with cheese, chips, sour cream, whatever you want!

My kids rarely will eat their veggies, but somehow this soup does the trick.  They usually really like it!
