Chicken Tortilla "Stoup"

This is my recipe for my hearty Chicken Tortilla Stoup. Now a "stoup" is a mix between a stew and a soup. It is delicious, filling, and let's just face it, the pot will empty quickly!

2 cups of water or chicken broth
1 large can of V8 juice
1 10oz can of Hot Rotel
1 lb bag of shredded cabbage
2 lbs of cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
1 10oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large bell pepper, chopped
4 stalks of celery, chopped
1 tsp of dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp of Hot Mexican Chile Powder

Combine all of these ingredients of a 5 qt pot, cover, and allow to simmer for one hour. The aroma from the pot fill your kitchen and slowly begin to roll throughout your home. Once finished, grab yourself a bowl and garnish with:

-shredded cheddar cheese
-sour cream
-halved grape tomatoes
-fresh corn tortillas
-cilantro

Quarter and fan the corn tortillas around the edge of the bowl like in the picture, and then add the shredded cheddar cheese, halved grape tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream to the middle of the bowl.

Enjoy!
