5 OR 6 CAN CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
I say 5 or 6 can because you can use canned chicken (which would make it a 6 can meal, but "real" chicken is so much better!)

Steps:
- 1. Open the cans of corn, chicken broth, chunk chicken, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Pour everything into a large saucepan or stock pot. Simmer over medium heat until chicken is heated through.
- 2. This can be done in a slow cooker as well, but it's almost not necessary when it can be complete from start to finish in less than 30 minutes (unless you're like me and prefer to NOT use the canned chicken).
- 3. We serve ours with a dollop of sour cream, shredded Mexican cheese and tortilla chips.
