Fiesta in a Bowl

Dinner for one tonight, as the man was off doing martial arty things at the gym.  I tried out another of our dry soup mixes, this time the tortilla chicken soup.  The box called for mixing up the chicken and water, which was tasty, but seemed to be lacking texture.  So I spruced it up a bit.

Included:
Dry soup mix
4 cups water
can tomatoes diced (with liquid)
black beans (rinsed)

Calories: 150 per cup

The recipe made about 9 cups.   Adding some garnish (listed below) brought my bowlful up to about 550 calories of delicious.  Turns out a serving of tortilla chips is actually quite small, too!



 1oz cheese (110 cal)
1 tablespoon of sour cream (60 cal)
  1oz tortilla chips (140 cal)

I have been skeptical of dry soup mixes at times, but with some additions, these have been very good! I'm going to have to ask my aunt where she found them so we can re-stock. 




I served the goodies up to myself with some sugar free margarita drink mix, in my fancy toxic wine glass.  Would have been better blended with ice (and probably with tequila) but it was tasty!
