{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Mexican Chicken Soup



Mexican Chicken Soup
Light & Tasty


This zesty dish is loaded with chicken, corn and black beans in a mildly spicy red broth. "As a busy mom of three young children, I'm always looking for dinner recipes that can be prepared in the morning. The kids love the taco-like taste of this easy soup," writes Marlene Kane of Lainesburg, Michigan.
