Sante Fe Chicken Soup

I made this last weekend for a girls' night and it was very easy. I looked up several recipes and took the common elements to create this one. So really, this is not an actual "recipe" but more like a recommended combination of ingredients. How much or how little or none at all, can be totally up to you and I think it would turn out fine.

Ingredients:
Shredded Chicken Breast
1 box chicken stock (32 oz?)
1 can diced tomato
1 can crushed tomato
1 large container fresh HOT salsa
Frozen Corn

Garnishes:
Tortilla chips
diced avocado
fresh cilantro

I think you could mess around with the amount of chicken, corn, stock and diced/crushed tomato to your liking. I will take a stand on the fresh salsa though. Don't use a jar. Get the stuff from the deli (or if you're at Kroger it's in the tiny refrigerator case in the Mexican aisle) And use HOT not mild. By the time you get everything else in the pot, it's not hot anymore -I promise.

I didn't have fresh cilantro but I should have. There was cilantro in the salsa and would have been nice to have a little to add with the avocado on top.

Sorry no picture this time. I plan on making it again soon, so maybe I can add one later.
