SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN AND CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER



Southwestern Black Bean and Chicken Corn Chowder image

A hearty stick-to-your-ribs soup that your family will enjoy. I like to use the meat from a grocery store rotisserie chicken to save time. If your kids don't like chunks of tomato in their soup (like mine) use a hand/stick blender to puree the diced tomatoes before adding.
