Quick and Easy Chicken "Tortilla" Soup E

My sister shared this recipe with me, maybe 15 years ago.  She assured me that it tasted just like the chicken tortilla soup at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Tyler, Texas.  After trying it, I agreed, so I have made it regularly ever since. It has always been a crowd pleaser and you can make it as light and easy as you please or you can go all homemade with it; either way, it is as good as a lot of restaurants serve!) 

1 qt. fat free chicken broth (when purchasing I use free range with no msg -
(I usually make my own broth by simmering 3-4  boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1 1/2 qts of water) (Do not add salt until it is done or it could cause this lean chicken meat to get tough. 

2 cups beef broth (the best quality that you can buy)

2 cups tomato juice   http://turtlehull.blogspot.com/2014/10/using-canned-tomato-   paste-to-make.html?spref=pi

1 can rotel tomatoes 

1 teaspoon ground cumin

This is a fairly low carb soup so feel free to add a little frozen corn(I keep a little bag of good quality frozen corn in the freezer for meals like this).

1 - 2 teaspoons celtic salt (or more, to taste especially if you make your own broths or accidentally buy low sodium you will need to do this to taste, don't skimp on the salt!)
Simmer this mixture together for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.  Then add into the pot or into individual serving dishes:

3 -  4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, (if you're using purchased broth you will need to produce chicken broth from somewhere) cooked and chopped into bite sized pieces

The original recipe called for canned chicken and over the years I have occasionally resorted to this.  As long as it is a very good quality brand it works out okay.  (I also keep this type of canned chicken meat on hand in case I end up with more soup than meat for leftovers; I can just add it in and get plenty of protein into this soup on the spur of the moment.)

1-2 wedges of Light Laughing Cow cheese per bowl since this is an E.   

Should you wish to make it a crossover for growing children just top this off with shredded cheddar cheese, perfect! 

I enjoy this with a 1/2 or more of a Joseph's Lavish bread toasted dry or with a light spraying of oil under my broiler and broken into chips. (pictured)  Watch it close though or it will burn.  

The blue corn baked chips would be great if I could ever find them!
