We made this soup a couple months ago and loved it. When planning our menu for the Recession/Depression Dinner Series, I thought it would be perfect for some of those chicken leftovers. What I love about making this soup is that it is incredibly easy and very flavorful.
I did not use homemade chicken stock this time around for a couple reasons a) I am completely out b) I wanted to include the price of chicken stock in our grocery total. Using store bought stock did change the flavor a bit, it was not as rich, but it was still damn good. Otherwise, I did everything the same with the preparation of the soup. I did serve it with baked tortillas and since we are trying to cut calories, I left the cheese out of it. The fire roasted tomatoes and paprika give it a slightly smoky taste which is a very pleasant surprise especially with the sweetness of the corn and the citrus undertones of the lemon chicken.
$ 10.45 for 6 servings. Dinner and lunch for the next day, as well as extra for the freezer (used 2 cup containers for extra).
