Chicken Tortilla Soup

It's COLD. I think I probably make this at least twice a month, maybe three times. Seriosuly though, it'll last me for 2 or 3 days since I tend to eat it for lunch and dinner.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
(from Desperation Dinners)

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cooked)
1 cup chopped onions ( really, i just hydrate those dehydrated onions and only add maybe 1/2 a cup)
1 tablespoon bottled lime juice (fresh will work too)
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic (fresh will work too, again i do the whole hydrate the dehydrated)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cans (14.5 oz each) fat free chicken broth
1 cup bottled salsa (i like the wal mart medium but the hotter the salsa the more spice in the soup)
1 cup frozen corn kernels (must be frozen cause they'll cook in the soup)

***You may also add crushed tortilla chips and/or shredded cheddar cheese when you serve it. I also like to make brown rice and eat it together.

1. Cook chicken. Add onions, lime juice, garlic, chili powder and cumin to a pot. Cook for 2 mins.
2. add the broth, salsa, corn. Stir to mix. Cover the pot and bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium high and continue to boil 8-10 mins to develop the flavor.

See! I told ya it was SUPER EASY!!! And SO YUMMY!!!
