January is the perfect time for a pot of tortilla soup! My friend Rachel gave me this recipe after I devoured admired a pot of it at her house. And it’s so easy to make!

1 can Ro-Tel
3 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
Chicken broth from boiling the chicken
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet dry ranch seasoning
Shredded cheese — cheddar, colby, jack or some combination thereof
Fritos
Instructions
Boil the chicken in plenty of water till it’s cooked through
Shred the chicken and set aside the resulting broth
Stir together beans, corn, tomatoes, Rotel, spices and chicken in a pot
Add in chicken broth till it’s as soupy as you like it
Simmer for at least 30 minutes, then serve with Fritos and cheese on top
Notes
You can play with these ingredients at will. It’s not exact at all! Like more beans? More corn? Run with it. Also easy to make with bags of frozen veggies if you’re making a bigger pot. Speaking of which, this soup freezes beautifully. I make gigantic batches and freeze supper-sized portions for easy weeknight meals. Also great with cornbread!
