Southwestern Chicken Chili

Here is a yummy southwestern chicken chili recipe just in time for the Super Bowl.  I adapted it from one I saw on Good Things Utah.  I had the recipe in my list to try when I ran into my good friend from high school at out local library.  She told me she tried it and loved it, so I decided to move it up my list.

The recipe is kind of a cross between my Taco Soup recipe and recipe for Crock Pot Southwestern Chicken Nachos.  The recipe calls for 3 cans of petite diced tomatoes.  I like to use the ones with the addition things in them like green chilies and onion.  I also used some fresh salsa in this soup per instructions from my friend.  She used the Garden Fresh Gourmet Jack’s Special Medium Salsa from Costco.  This salsa happens to be one that can always be found in my fridge.  My whole family loves it.  My boys love to eat it as a snack.  I also love it because it is fresh, natural, and has no preservatives.
