Tortilla Soup- Make it your own

I found this recipe in a kids magazine article about kid friendly dinners. It is also adult friendly as Brent raves each time I make it about how good it is. Last time we had it he told me he could eat it every night for a week and not get sick of it. You make a soup base, then set out bowls of add ins so you can "make it your own" by putting what you want in it. Then of course you eat it with tortilla chips along the way...hense earning the given title.

Tortilla Soup- Make It Your Own

2 quarts chicken broth
2 cans corn, drained
1 cup mild salsa
Tomatoes, chopped
Avocado, diced
Cooked chicken breast, diced
Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Can black beans, drained and rinsed
Cilantro, chopped
Sour cream
Tortilla chips

Combine the broth, corn, and salsa. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare the “add-ins”- avocado, chicken, cheese, beans, cilantro, sour cream, and tortilla chips in individual bowls. Serve the soup then add in your “add-ins” of choice.
