directions

1. I like to use a roasted chicken from the deli counter at grocery store or use leftover turkey to save time.
2. Saute` onion in hot oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and saute` one minute. Stir in pre-cooked chicken or turkey and add next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
