Rotisserie Chicken Wednesday

Hello? Hello? It is so quiet out there. Really, tell me about your Super Bowl party plans. Don't make me beg. Nobody wants to see that. Or do you?

Now, on a completely different topic. Dinner.

I love Chicken Tortilla Soup. It's simple to make and if you don't want to go to the trouble of frying the tortilla strips, use tortilla chips. Look for low-salt varieties, though. If you've got a well-stocked pantry, you may only need to pick up the rotisserie bird, fresh cilantro and tortillas.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 (6-inch) corn tortillas (cut into
1/2-inch strips)
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15-ounce) can black beans,  rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 or 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the tortilla strips, stirring often, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil and remaining tortilla strips and set aside.

Add the broth, cumin, chili powder and oregano to the pot. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the beans, corn, chicken and salsa. Reduce heat to low, stir and simmer until chicken and veggies are heated through.

Add the cilantro and half of the reserved tortilla strips. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish each bowl with some of the remaining strips.

Serves 6.
