Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is one of my favorite soups and it makes soooo much! So it's good for a group or lots of leftovers.

Ingredients: Olive oil
                 1 onion
                1 T.  garlic ( I use the minced kind that comes in the jar)
                1 fresh jalapeno (optional)
                1 green pepper
                Pkg. of chicken breasts ( I use 3 pieces)
                small pkg. of frozen corn (about 2-3 cups)
               1/2 cup water
                1 tsp. cumin
                1 tsp. chilli powder
               1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (only if you like it spicy!!) and even if you don't use this it will have a little bite with the cumin, chilli powder and jalapeno.
              Chicken broth ( I use about 56 ounces)
                2 (14oz.) cans of diced tomatoes
               2 (8oz.) cans of tomato sauce
              tortilla chips
               shredded cheese





Directions:

         Saute the onion, garlic, jalapeno, green pepper with olive oil in LARGE pot until it's kinda soft. Then just add all the rest of the ingredients. Even the chicken. Put it in there raw (after you cut the fat off) and bring to a boil. Remove the chicken when it's fully cooked (about 15 minutes) and shred it into pieces. Add it back to the soup and it's done! :) Top with lots of crunched up chips and shredded cheese. :)
