Zesty Mexican Soup

Prep. time: 30 min
Makes: 6 servings (1 cup each)

2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (14 oz) Progresso® reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (11.5 oz) vegetable juice cocktail
1 can (15.5 oz) Green Giant® whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup Muir Glen® organic salsa (any flavor)
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. In 3-quart saucepan, mix all ingredients except cilantro. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat.
2. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro.

Recipe Tip:
Super Chicken

Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
Make Ahead
Soup is a great way to use leftover chicken. Make a double batch and freeze some in 2-cup amounts so it can be easily thawed and heated when needed.
Did You Know?
Cilantro has a lively pungent flavor that some describe as slightly soapy. It's used often in Mexican, Indian and Indonesian dishes. Also called Chinese parsley, it's a key ingredient in pico de gallo (salsa).
