The big game is almost here. Are you ready?? I’m still putting some last minute touches on my menu, but thankfully I’ve got a lot of tasty options to choose from, including this Easy Southwestern Chicken Soup I created using leftover rotisserie chicken. This meal is the perfect way to to use up leftovers. This tasty soup is loaded with flavor and yet requires no seasoning whatsoever!

Whether you make it spicy or mild, it is sure to win the crowd on game day or any day of the year!For this recipe, all the flavor comes from these two small cans.  This includes Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans,  the original-recipe Mexican-style refried beans – authentic and delicious.  And not surprising, a can of Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies which features the original Texas family recipe – made with a signature blend of vine-ripened tomatoes and zesty green chilies and a savory mixture of secret spices.

I headed out to my local Walmart to pick them up. Not sure where they are located? I spotted the Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans in the Mexican food aisle while Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies was with the canned diced tomatoes.

I love starting out any soup with sauteed onions and this recipe was no exception. I also included chopped sweet peppers for more color and flavor.

Adding in the remaining ingredients is very fast. With several canned goods and chicken broth, this soup is almost effortless.

The refried beans ended up being a very secret ingredient that added great texture and a more traditional Mexican taste. (At least according to my mother-in-law who lived in Texas for 7 years. This Minnesota gal is going to trust her on this.)

This Easy Southwester Chicken Soup has some bite but that can easily be removed by using Ro*Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.

I added some additional toppings for garnish and taste. Nothing beats shredded cheese on a hot soup!

If it would taste good in a taco, it would taste great as a garnish on this soup.

The hardest part is decided whether to fully mix in the toppings or scoop them out with some tortilla chips!
