Another Version of Chicken Tortilla Soup

If I were more creative, I would come up with a new name for this since we already have a chicken tortilla soup on here... but "chicken and bean" doesn't sound good, and I'm not feeling uber creative today. So: "chicken tortilla soup, version 2" it is :)

Chicken Tortilla Soup

2-3 chicken breast (free range, organic) boiled & shredded
2 cans chicken broth (low sodium, organic)
2 cans stewed tomatoes
2 cans pinto beans, drained
2 cans black beans, drained
24 oz picante or salsa (clean - no vinegar or sugar)
1 sm-med onion, diced
1 pkg taco seasoning (low sodium, no MSG or homemade)
Optional toppings: Rice chips, cheddar "cheese" shreds, avocado slices, green onions

Cook 20-30 minutes stove top. This recipe is HUGE! A half-batch easily serves our family of 4 with 1-2 leftover servings. Try halving it or freeze second half for later time when you need a quick meal!
