Fiesta Soup
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces (see Note)
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth (low sodium, if possible)
  • 1 can (15 oz.) kidney beans, undrained
  • 1 cup salsa (see Note)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup Uncle Ben's Instant Rice
  • 1/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1. In large saucepan, combine chicken, broth, beans, salsa, and corn.

2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 5-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. (see Note)

3. Stir in rice. Cover; remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

4. Top each serving with cheese.

Yield: 4 servings.


Note:
1. We usually use the mildest salsa. Depends on how spicy you like your soup.
2. You can use cooked chicken cut into bite-sized pieces. Add at the same time, but only simmer for 5 minutes.
