Quick & Easy Southwest Chicken Soup

Quick & Easy Southwest Chicken Soup

This was something I put together on the fly recently when it was real cold out and I didn't want to really "cook" a meal. I used some things I had left over from other meals and made a small pot of soup! 

Breast meat from Rotisseri chicken, hand shredded

1 small onion - diced

2-3 cloves of garlic - diced

Handfull of shredded carrots

2 handfulls of frozen corn - mine is actually roasted corn found at Aldi

1 jalapeno - seeded and diced

1 can rotel

1 box light chicken broth or vegitable broth

1 can tomato paste - less is fine

Saute the onion and garlic until softened. Then add in the carrots, jalapeno and chicken. stir in the tomato paste, and then add remaining ingredients. bring to a boil. Then lower heat to simmer about 20 mins or until ready to eat. I might have seasoned it with some Mrs. Dash Chipotle Seasoning and probably sea salt and Black pepper!

I like to top mine with small handfull of crushed chips, cheese, sour cream and cilantro. You can do it however you want!
