Chicken Tortilla soup

1. I cheat and use already cut up garlic :) saves me time.

Recipe:
3 Boneless Chicken Thighs with the skin off
1 TBS of canola or vegetable oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 onion
1-1/2 green pepper-depending on how much you like green pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic or one real garlic clove
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup jar of salsa at whatever heat level your family enjoys. mild, medium or hot. I use mild so the kids will eat it too. Pluse I don't like hot. I just have my husband add his on hot sauce to his bowl.
1 to 1/2 cup frozen or canned corn. Make sure to drain if you use canned corn.
1 can black beans. Make sure to rinse the beans.
Serves 4-6 depending how many times they go back for seconds:)

Warm up the pot on low add the 1 TBS of oil. Add the chicken sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Let the chicken cook on both sides for a few minutes. Chop the onion and add it to the chicken. Saute green pepper and onions.saute the onions until they become a clear gloss about 3 min. add your garlic. this processes help render a nice juice. Now add chicken broth, salsa, corn and beans. Let it cook on the stove on low with a lid for a couple of hours. after the two hours take the chicken out and shred it up and place it back into the soup!! Serve it with tortilla, chips, sour cream, avocado and cilantro! So good! YAY!
