Fallen Souffle

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!

With the holidays comes lots of food and even more leftovers. There was an abundance of turkey and ham this year so I was happy to take some off my Mom’s hands. Since it was raining the entire time I drove to NC, I decided it was time for soup. I grabbed a box of chicken broth from Mom’s pantry but had everything else on hand.

This soup turned out really well, considering I just threw everything in a pot and let it simmer while I unpacked. I made a few cheese quesadillas to go with it and dinner was done. You can certainly use chicken or make it all veg and throw in some corn.

Turkey Tortilla Soup
*measurement are all approximate

1/2 carton chicken broth
1 can Rotel (I used the variety with lime and cilantro-yum!)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded, cooked turkey
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper

Throw it in a saucepan, bring to boil and then let simmer until you are ready to eat. Serve with shredded cheese and crushed tortillas chips. YUM!
