Southwest Chicken Soup

This is a modification of this recipe found on food.com 

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken
1 Can rotel tomatoes
2 Cans black beans, drained (and rinsed if you want)
6ish cups chicken stock (reserved from cooking chicken)
Cilantro
Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Onion
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 or 2 cans corn (optional - I didn't use this)
Cilantro
Salt (if you want - I didn't use any)

1. Boil chicken until skin and meat is falling off the bones.  Pull meat off the bones and tear/cut into bite sized pieces.
2. Reserve chicken broth and strain.
3. In pan, add olive oil and brown onion and garlic (recipe says to brown chicken - that might be good)
4.  Combine all ingredients and cook for 15-30 minutes

You can add shredded cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips to the top.

Make it quicker and easier - You could you chicken breasts or a rotisserie chicken and add some canned chicken broth.
