    1. Using a 6 quart Dutch oven or a large pot with the stove set on medium heat. Add the tomato soup, chicken stock and taco seasoning, Whisk until combined.

    2. Add and stir in the crushed white corn tortilla chips. Add and stir in the green chilis, black beans, pinto beans, black olives, corn, Pico de Gallo, and chicken.

    3. Once the soup starts to bubble, reduce temperature to low. Continue to cook for 30-45 minutes to let the soup thicken, making sure to stir and scrap the bottom of the Dutch oven or pot every 10 minutes.

    Notes: Helpful hint: sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking chicken. I just use store bought refrigerated organic fully cooked skinless chicken strips that is sold in the plastic resealable packaging usually sold for salads etc. It holds up really well in soups and stews.
