Skinny Tortilla Soup

The is a yummy soup that is made of things you can keep on hand. I usually make this for people when they've had a baby or are sick, and they generally ask for the recipe after they've eaten it. It's easy to make and kids seem to like it too.

1 can (16oz) fat free refried beans
1 can (15oz) black beans; rinsed and dried
1 can (14.5oz) chicken broth
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
3/4 cups salsa
3/4 cup cubed or shredded chicken
1/2 cup water
2 cups cheese

In a large pan, combine the first 7 ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Serve over tortilla chips and top with cheese. Serves about 8.

(To make this for multiple families, I usually get a whole chicken and boil it for an hour or so. I use the broth from the boiled chicken to make the soup and shred the chicken. You can also use already cooked fajita chicken or regular chicken breasts. When freezing, I go ahead and add the cheese to the soup. )
