  • Large pot
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • 2 pcs. chicken breasts deboned and skinless
  • 2 ½ tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 cans beans

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350 degrees.

Notes

  • The chicken broth — Pioneer Woman’s chicken tortilla recipe calls for low-sodium chicken broth, and as healthy as it is, you might realize that something may be off with how your soup tastes. Adding some salt to the mix will help.
 
  • The spice — Although this chicken soup recipe is great as it is, it doesn’t really pack heat. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, you can always increase the number of spices used for a better experience.
