Super Easy Tortilla Soup

A really easy and affordable quick meal that leaves lots of room for individual creativity. This is a big hit with my singer friends when they are sick. Its like a spicy chicken soup. You can also leave out the cheese and chips if you are trying for something light...

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 (19 ounce) cans  chicken and wild rice soup (I prefer Progresso)
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
• 1  cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6  ounces tortilla chips, crushed

Directions

1. Puree the tomatoes in a blender or food processor.
2. Pour soup and tomatoes into a stockpot and warm over medium heat.
3. To serve, top with chips and cheese.
4. I make this with a number of possible variations-- some good additions are: shredded cooked chicken thighs or breasts, sour cream, black beans, black olives, a can of mexi-corn, sliced avocados, other varieties of cheese, chopped green onions.
