CHICKEN TACO SOUP

1 Chicken, cooked, deboned and cut into bite-size pieces (you can use all chicken breasts if you prefer)
2 cans pinto beans (we like the Ranch style chili beans), undrained
1 can black beans, undrained
1 can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can Rotel tomatoes, diced (we like the medium heat)
1 large onion, chopped
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix, dry
1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix, dry
1 TBSP. chili powder (more if you like it hot)
1 TBSP. sugar
1 TBSP. minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup chicken stock
grated cheese & corn chips, optional

Combine all ingredients (except cheese and chips) in a large pot and simmer on low 1 - 2 hours (or leave in a crock pot on low for up to 4 hours). When ready to serve, put grated cheese and chips on table -- some of us really like to put both on top, some serve their soup over a bowl of chips!) I've heard that some even like to serve this over rice. Serves a mob (10 - 12 people)! Enjoy!
