Leftovers Recipe – Easy Tortilla Soup

I had a lot of leftover corn and rotisserie chicken.  I was trying to decide what to make for dinner one night.  I ended up using the leftovers to make a really good tortilla soup.

In a big soup pot I brought chicken broth to a boil.  I used pre-made chicken broth from HEB.  I simmered the leftover chicken, corn, carrots, and onions until the carrots were soft, but not mushy.  I kept all of it on low for a while to really soak up the flavor.  During this time, you can add additional spices.  I added a some lime, salt and pepper.  You can add hot pepper if you like it spicy.

I served the soup with cheese, tortilla strips, and lime wedges.  Our guests could then add whatever toppings they wanted.
