Tortilla Soup with Black Beans

Found this on Martha Stewart.  I made my own adjustments according to what I had in my cupboards and what we like.

6 cloves of garlic
1 tsp. chili powder
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans black beans
1 package frozen corn
1 can fat-free chicken broth
chicken
salt & pepper
1 Tbsp. lime juice

Cook garlic and chili powder until fragrant (1 min.)  Add tomatoes (with juice), beans (drained and rinsed), corn, and broth.  Heat to boil.  I had already cooked the chicken and added that along with salt and pepper to taste.  I eyeballed the lime juice and added until I thought it tasted good.

You are supposed to add tortilla strips to the soup and cook til those are soft and serve with some on top.  We didn't have any so I just broiled some tortillas and added those at the end.  I liked it!
