Chicken Tortilla-less Soup

---

This hearty soup is so easy and fast to make – using rotisserie chicken and pantry and freezer staples means your family can enjoy dinner without having to eat out! We left out the tortilla strips, but if you want some crunch try thinly sliced radishes – you can even buy them pre-sliced in the produce section.

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
