Chicken Enchilada Soup

You can be sick or not sick and soup tastes good. Eric likes this one as a side to fajitas or tacos, but didn't have time for that. I made the soup, and some guacomole, and stopped at the "to go" door at chilis, grabbed the chips and salsa, and headed home. (this serves 4 or 3 if you keep having another bowl like I did)

2TB butter
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup red pepper chopped
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups of chicken broth
2 cup chicken cooked and shredded
6 corn tortillas cut into pieces
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Melt butter in saucepan and cook onion and bell pepper until soft. Add the chilies, chili powder, and cumin. Add the chicken soup & broth, and whisk until smooth. Over medium low heat stir in chicken, tortillas, sour cream, & cheese until cheese is melted and soup reaches serving temperature.
