Taco Soup to Spice Up Your Cold Winter Day

Soups are a great way to warm up on a cold winter day!!  This is one of my favorite soups which I have adapted from the southern Queen Paula Deen!  For yummy taco soup you will need the following:
   1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
   1 large yellow onion, chopped
   2 cloves of garlic, minced
   1 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes, garlic seasoned, with juice
   1 14.5 ounce can of Mexican Flavored Ro*Tel, with juice
   1 15 ounce can of kidney beans, drained
   1 15 ounce can of pinto beans, drained
   1 15 ounce can of black beans, drained
   1 14.5 ounce can of chicken broth
   1 package of taco seasoning mix plus extra for additional flavor
   Optional toppings: Sour cream, shredded taco flavored cheese, guacamole
In a large dutch oven, cook the chicken, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until browned.  Stir in tomatoes, ro*tel, beans, broth, and seasoning mix.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered, for 30 minutes.  One cup of soup without the yummy toppings is about 245 calories. 
  Obviously this makes a large amount of soup, but there is an easy fix for that - freeze your extras!  I freeze my extra soup in sour cream containers.  Then next time you need a warm up, just pull it out, thaw, and enjoy!
