Chicken bones, reserved from Day 2

SPICY BLACK BEAN & CORN TORTILLA SOUP



Spicy Black Bean & Corn Tortilla Soup image

This recipe is a spicy & hearty soup with a tex-mex taste. I was looking for a filling, good-enough-to-be-a-meal soup that was big on taste and light on fat/dairy. It is best when served with all the garnishes so that each bite has a slightly different mix of the fresh flavor. It can be easily modified to be vegetarian/vegan by using vegetable broth (or base) and soy cheese.
