FIESTA CHICKEN SOUP

This is how I make tortilla or fiesta soup. It's economical and protein-rich without using a lot of chicken breasts. I poach the chicken breast in water and save the water to add to the soup. We usually serve with quesadillas or nachos.

A slightly spicy recipe that I created quite by mistake. I was making another recipe when I realized I had added too much tomato juice and didn't have enough beans to complete it. A few other changes and there you go.
