I admit it's not that pretty to look at... But trust me on this one - the taste is fabulous!It's yet another recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks - Trim and Terrific by Holly Clegg. Delish!
You'll need:
1 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1 (4oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
8 cups fat-free canned chicken broth
2 cups chopped cooked skinless chicken breast (turkey leftovers work great!)
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, optional
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder (we use chipotle powder - it adds smokiness)
4 (6-8 inch) flour tortillas, cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
Makes 4-6 servings.
In a large, heavy pot coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic over medium heat until tender, about 7 minutes. Add the chilies, chicken broth, chicken, corn, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
While the soup is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the tortilla strips on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp. Spoon the soup into bowls; top with tortilla strips and cheese.
Enjoy!

I am impressed by
1. how perfectly uniform your cookies are
and
2. how clean your cookie sheets are!
Ha ha ha. The cookies were easy - you roll them into balls and squish them - hence, the uniform-ity. And the cookie sheets - brand new. This was their first use. Don't worry - they'll look normal by Friday!
Have you tried an eggnog latte from Starbucks - they are fabulous!
