Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 C cooked shredded chicken
4 C chicken stock
1 T olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 T tomato paste
1 can tomatoes with green chilies
2 cans black beans
1 T chili powder
1 T cumin
Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper to taste

In a stock pot, cook onion, garlic, and bell peppers in oil until soft. Add chicken, tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, and spices. Add stock and simmer for 20-30 min.

Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime, and/or jalapeños. I also serve with tortilla chips (I fry my own using vegetable oil and corn tortillas).

I've also made this with turkey (and homemade turkey stock), and it was awesome.
