Here is a great soup to use up any leftover shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken. I had a bag of shredded chicken I had saved in the freezer and set out to find a good "blog worthy" recipe in which to use it. I had forgotten how good this soup is. Especially on a cold, winter night. This one had JD licking his bowl!
Tortilla Soup
1 Tbsp olive oil (could omit completely)
3 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp dried onion
1- 4 oz. can of chopped green chilis
1- 15 0z. can of beef broth
2- 15 oz. cans of chicken broth
2- 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1- 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen sweet corn
1 tsp each of ground cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper
1 Tbsp steak sauce
1 cup water
1 1/2-2 cups of shredded chicken
Toppings:
grated cheddar cheese
baked tortilla chips
fat free sour cream
In a large dutch oven, saute onion and garlic in oil. Add rest of the ingredients (except for toppings) and let simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. To serve, top with chips, grated cheese and sour cream.

Oh my, this looks delish! I rarely see Tortilla soup like this up in Canada, but when we vacationed in the southwest USA we saw it all the time, and I miss it. I'm so happy to find a recipe!
