Brainy Chicken Chili Soup....

Whenever there is the last two cups of chicken stock in the fridge ... there is the call for chicken chili soup. And it suffices when chili con carne is being called for but the chicken stock has to get to used up. Besides that, you don't have any ground beef but left over chicken you have.

As usual, when making any soup... do not add a mess of ingredients: pasta, rice, carrots, corn, peas, potatoes, and or cauliflower etc. Keep it simple. You are making a soup not a stew or porridge. And that rule, applies here too.

Take the stock and add one large can of diced tomatoes. Shred left over chicken breasts into the pot as well along with 2 med. cans of northern white beans (drained). Add whatever amount of hot sauce or chili powder and or red pepper flakes as you want and let it simmer.

Serve topped with chopped fresh cilantro, parsley or fresh spinach if you prefer. You may also want to grate cheese on top.
