6 cups chicken broth
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 cups frozen corn
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 cup white wine (can use water instead)

DIRECTIONS
Saute onion, garlic, jalapeno chilies & red/green peppers in oil in a large stockpot until soft
Add the rest of the ingredients (except noodles) to pot and bring to a boil
After about 15 minutes remove chicken breasts and shred using two forks to pull them apart. Return shredded chicken to the pot and simmer for about 45 minutes, then add cooked noodles in the last five minutes
Stir in fresh cilantro, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with suggested toppings: sour cream, cheese, chips, or diced avocado.
This soup tastes great with turkey too!
