Ok, ok, I know. I know. It's not chili weather. But, it's really more of a "tortilla soup," if you will, and it's good, ok? And it takes less than 30 minutes, or it can simmer for an hour and be even better. So, try it!
What you need
1 pound ground chicken
2 cans diced tomatoes (or 1 can diced, 1 can crushed), undrained
2 cans beans (any type, but I like 1 black bean, 1 white bean of some sort), drained and rinsed
1 package frozen corn
1-2 Tbs olive oil
salt and pepper
1-2 Tbs chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp each garlic and onion powder
*seasons are approximate, add what you like
cilantro, cheese, tortilla chips and avocado for garnish
In large soup pot, brown the chicken in olive oil. Add the tomatoes (rinse the tomato cans with water and add this to the pot), beans and corn, seasonings, bring to boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Serve with the garnishes (is that a word?) at the table and you've got a meal.
