Black Bean, Chicken and Corn Soup With Toasted Tortilla Strips image

Another cooking class recipe. This is a lovely tortilla soup with homemade tortilla strips. The things that make this recipe a little different from the others is the tomato sauce, rice, cilantro and limes. I'm not a big cilantro fan but I loved it in this recipe. I've found that you don't have to flip the tortilla strips if you use foil on the bottom of your baking sheet. Also, the rice is partially cooked so as to not overcook the rice while simmering in the soup. Prep time is if you already have cooked chicken and rice.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more chili powder and cumin next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I left it out of the soup. It was still delicious!

This soup was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.
