This soup is so good and healthy for you too. It has lots of veggies and lots of flavor. If it's too spicy for you, serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Ingredients:
2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 cups water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can mexican-style tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

3 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried basil

2. Cover and bring chicken to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken juices are clear.
3. Take chicken out of water and cube into 1/2 inch pieces; place chicken back into water, but do not have heat on.
