D's QUICK and EASY Tortilla Soup

I LOVE tortilla soup, but for some reason always thought it would be hard to make.  My friend "M" shared a recipe with me, as usual, I was pressed time so I made some changes that worked out wonderful!  This recipe made enough for me and College Brat to eat dinner and have left overs for lunch, would probably be ok for a family of 4, but if you like left overs I would double the recipe. 

D's EASY, LAZY, QUICK Tortilla Soup:

• 1 big can of chicken - strained and shredded (can find where the tuna is)
• 1 can of whole kernal yellow corn (drained)
• 1 can of black beans (drained)
• 2 cans rotel tomatoes with chiles, lime and cilantro *
• 3 cans chicken broth
•  1 onion (chopped, I used my food processor)
• 3/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground Cumin
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• Tortilla chips - break them up 
• Shredded Fiesta Blend cheese

*if you can't find the Rotel with chiles, lime and cilantro, use 2 cans diced tomatoes with chiles, 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice  and 2-1/2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro.

Mix all the ingrediants together in a big pot, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and let simmer for 30-45 minutes. (except for tortilla chips and cheese) 

When ready to serve, put in bowls and top with tortilla chips and shredded cheese.
