Chicken Tortilla Soup

Happy New Year!!
I decided to make Chicken Tortilla soup tonight.  It's the same recipe as before however,  this time I was excited to use my new cast iron dutch oven that I got for Christmas. 
 My son was at the barn horseback riding in the snow.  This soup was exactly what he needed after being outside on such a cold January day.
I hope you will give this a try.  It's delicious and reheats beautifully.

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 Cream of Chicken soup
1 tablespoon of Argo Corn Starch
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 tsp Hot pepper flakes
Shredded cheddar cheese
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. I add a pinch of cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
