Chicken Tortilla Soup

This soup is VERY quick and easy to make.   Most of the ingredients I have in my pantry and freezer anyway.
Ingredients
3 Chicken Breasts
1/2 of a red pepper diced
1/2 of a medium onion diced
3 cloves of garlic
1 bag of frozen corn
1 can of black beans
1 can of red kidney beans
2 cups milk
1 large carton of chicken broth
1 can of Campbell's Healthy Requests Cheddar Cheese soup
1 tablespoon of Argo Corn Starch
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 tsp Hot pepper flakes
Shredded cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top of the soup
Reduced fat sour cream
Bag of Tortilla chips

This is a very easy soup to assemble.
Saute onions, garlic and peppers until soft add them to a soup pot
Cook chicken and shred it with knife, add to pot.
Add the beans, corn, chicken broth, 1 cup milk with a Tbsp of corn starch( I mix it well to make sure there are no lumps)
cumin, hot pepper flakes, Cheddar cheese soup and finally 1 cup of milk.

 To Serve, I crush up a few tortilla chips and put them in the bottom of the bowl.
        

Then I ladle the soup over the chips, add grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

                                         Warm corn muffins goes great with the soup.
