Chicken Tortilla Soup

Based on my Mom's recipe, this is one of our family favorites. Quick and easy on the stove top, or perfect for the crock pot.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 can chicken broth
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Rotel tomatoes (I like the lime and cilantro one best)
1 can corn or hominy, drained
1 - 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or 2 cans canned chicken
1-2 T Mexican seasoning as needed (I always add a little cumin)

Combine everything in a large stock pot. Simmer 10-15 minutes.
Serve with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, green onions, fresh cilantro, etc.
