A delicious chicken soup full of vegetables and beans. Serving suggestion: Crumble tortilla chips into the soup before serving, and top with a dollop of sour cream, a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese, and some chopped cilantro.

1 pound chicken tenderloins, cooked and cubed

1 48 oz. box of chicken broth

2 cans Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Zesty Green Chilis

1 can of sweet corn

1 can dark red kidney beans

1 can light red kidney beans

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp olive oil
