2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 can Light Beer
1 teaspoon Gound Cumin
2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
1 whole Large Onion, Chopped
6 cups Water
6 blocks Chicken Bouillon Cubes
1 jar Chunky Salsa (large)
1 can Petite Diced Tomatoes (w/juice)
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 bag Frozen Yellow Corn
Tortilla Chips
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese

1
Cook chicken ahead of time in cumin. (I like to put my chicken in the slow cooker all day long with the cumin, a little garlic powder, and a can of beer. It shreds nicely by just taking a fork through it. If you don't use the slow cooker, omit the can of beer.)
2
Saute chopped onion in a little cooking spray or olive oil for 1-2 minutes. Add in chicken mixture and garlic. Stir till onion, garlic, and chicken are mixed together. Add in water and bouillon cubes till cubes have melted, and soup has come to a boil. Add in chili powder, lemon juice, salsa, diced tomatoes (with juice), and corn, and bring soup back to a boil. Simmer for 10-20 minutes.
3
Serve with crushed up tortilla chips. Sour cream and cheese are optional. It's great with or without them. The leftovers are WONDERFUL!
4
The servings are very large. A bowl (with around 2 cups of soup) with the tortilla chips is only around 275 calories and it only has 5 grams of fat.

*Beer can be omitted from slow cooker and water can be used instead.
