DINNER GROUPS ROCK!!!!!

I just joined a dinner group and I love it. There are four families involved in the group. So we each have our night to cook dinner for all four families (including ours), I have Monday's which works perfect for me. Last week was my first week and it was so exciting to have dinner a surprise, Tues-Thursday. My kids were so excited TOO! The dinners were really really yummy! I have decided to start posting some of the recipes. Before the group I would get into such a rut, always making the same things. So if this is you, know that you have somewhere to go to look for something different.

Tonight's Dinner: Tortilla Soup/Taco Soup
This is such an easy(simple) recipe that I came up with on the fly. Mix in the amount of ingredients to your liking as you are making it.
Items needed:
2-4 cups chicken broth
1 lrg. Can refried beans
2 small cans black beans
2 small cans pinto beans
1 lrg. can of corn
2-4 cans of stewed cut up tomatoes Or Rotel and then omit green chilies(already in)
1-2 cans green chilies
1-2 small cans tomatoe paste
Then I add whatever meat I have. I have added grilled Chicken chopped up or ground hamburger or ground turkey meat, anyone of them turns out good.
Then you scoup into a bowl, salt, add some chesse and break up some tortilla chips and throw on top. Stir and it's ready to eat.
This is great for those days when you need something really fast!
HOPE YOU ENJOY!
