Soups and Salads
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1-1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon ancho chili powder
5-6 cans low sodium chicken broth
1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 (7-oz.) can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (need sauce only)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2-4 boneless skinless breasts, cooked and chopped
Salt and pepper
Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute or so. Stir in chili powder and cook 1 more minute. Add tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Slowly add adobo sauce to taste. (Make sure you test and avoid adding the seeds as this sauce can be very spicy). If you like it very spicy you can chop a chili and add it as well. Add corn, black beans, chicken, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. This part freezes well.
