Cindy's Award-Winning Chicken Tortilla Soup

Okay, so last year I entered the Templeton Ward Souper Bowl... and WON!  LOL!  Well, I can't totally take credit for this recipe, as it's an upgraded Pampered Chef recipe.. But, those of  you who know me know that I LOVE PC recipes- easy & delish- which are my two FAVORITE words when it comes to cooking!  So, here it goes:
Bag 1:
*1 can diced tomatoes w/green chilies
*8 oz velveeta, cubed
*1 TBS Chipotle Rub (PC Spice, but you can use Taco Seasoning instead)

Bag 2:
*1lb chicken, grilled in 1TBS veg oil and cubed
*2 cups frozen corn
*3 cups crushed tortilla chips

So, the bags are referring to freezer bags, and you just put the stuff in and put it in the freezer. (bag 2 can be sealed and put in bag 1 to keep them together.) Once you're ready to make it, you put ingredients from bag 1 and 2 cans chicken broth and 1 can black beans, undrained, in a pot and boil. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Then add contents from bag 2 and let it come to a boil again, then cook for about 5 minutes, until hot. I always add fresh chopped cilantro at this point, about 2TBS, but it’s optional. Then serve. You can have tortillas, shredded cheese, diced avocado, crushed chips, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or whatever to serve along with.
