    15 oz can diced tomatoes
    15 oz can dark red kidney beans
    4 oz can diced green chilies
    ½ large onion, chopped
    1-2 cups carrots, diced
    1-2 zucchini, diced
    1 cup frozen corn (optional)
    1 Tbl garlic, chopped
    1 large handful cilantro, chopped
    4 chicken breasts
    juice of 1 orange, 1 grapefruit, and 1 lime (or approx 1/4 cup each)
    6-8 cups chicken stock
    4 dashes hot sauce (approximately)

    8 oz cheddar-jack cheese, shredded (if allowed)
    adobo seasoning and black pepper, to taste

    Recipe



    This looks like a lot of stuff, but the recipe goes quickly, and is ready in about half an hour.
    Makes approximately 8 servings, with enough for seconds.

    * Open up and drain all the canned vegetables - keep to the side.
    * Juice the fruits - keep to the side.
    * In a large stock pot, over medium-high heat, saute the onions and carrots using canola oil until the onions begin to get soft.
    * Add in the zucchini, garlic, kidney beans, chilies and tomatoes. Stir together, and let cook for about 5 minutes.
    * While that's cooking, cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. It's actually easier to do if the chicken is partially frozen.
    * Add the stock to the vegetables, and bring to a boil.
    * Once boiling, add in the chicken, and turn the soup down to simmer. Simmer 5-10 minutes.
    * Add in the frozen corn.
    * Turn off the heat, and add the hot sauce, fruit juice, and cilantro.
    * Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
    * Put the cooked rice into each person's bowl, pour the soup over it, and top with broken up tortilla chips and shredded cheddar-jack cheese (or Diaya).
