Chicken Tortilla Soup - Recipe

This is something I just threw together based on similar recipes I've read on the Internet. It's really filling.

Chicken Tortilla Soup - 1 serving

Mix the following in a sauce pan and heat:

1 cooked chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup chicken broth
60 g (1/4 cup) salsa
28 g (1/4 cup) shredded cheese

Pour into bowl.

Top with:

30 g (2 tbs) low fat sour cream
1 low carb tortilla, warmed in oven until a little crisp, cut into 8 pieces [I kept these on the side and just dipped them in the soup]

15 Bean Soup is to die for!!!!

I bought a one-pound bag of dry beans for 15 Bean Soup. Per half cup:

120 calories
1 g fat
20 g carbs (9 fiber!!!!!!!!!)
8 g protein

It comes with a packet of seasoning.

I soaked the beans overnight, then drained and rinsed. Simmer for about 90 minutes. I then added them to the slow cooker, which had some cut up chunks of lean beef in about 8 ounces of tomato sauce. Stir in the seasoning packet and cook on low until the meat is very tender.

This is the best comfort food ever!!! I wish the weather were a bit colder because this really would have hit the spot! I can't wait to make it again.
