Chicken Taco Soup

Thanks to the Rachael Ray Show for this one! SO yummy!

Ingredients:
2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups salsa
2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded (I prefer Costco's rotisserie chickens and the meat you get from it is the PERFECT amount for this recipe)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 quart chicken stock
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Chips (left over crumbs of chip bags work wonderfully in this soup!)

Directions:
In a medium-sized sauce pot over medium-high heat, add 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes.

Add the salsa, rotisserie chicken and chicken stock. Bring up to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve with some chopped tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, and chip crumbs. I like doing this for dinner just like tacos or taco salad people can just add what they like!
**You can also do this one in a slow-cooker! Just toss the onion, garlic, salsa, chicken, and chicken stock in your slow cooker and cook on low for four hours.***
