Den Momma's Chunky Southwestern Chicken Stew

I made way too much soup, but it came out so good! It's hot, but excellent, and was pretty inexpensive to make so very much of it. Easy, too. I needed to increase everything to balance out the chiles. OMG... yum. You get 9 cups.

Den Momma's Chunky Southwestern Chicken Stew
1 large can diced tomatoes (28 oz)
4 cups fat free low sodium broth (I used half chicken and half beef)
6 oz dry pasta (Any kind of small pasta, I used small wheels)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup canned corn
8 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
I small can HOT diced jalepenos
1 small can salsa verde

In a large stockpot, combine the tomatoes, broth and pasta. Cook till pasta is about halfway done. Add everything else and finish cooking the pasta. Be sure the chicken is cooked through, about five minutes or so.

Feel free to serve with crushed tortilla chips on top, or sour cream, or shredded cheddar.

Skipping the pasta altogether leaves you with a scant 136 calories per serving, by the way. I just love the pasta too much to leave it off. This is totally substantial enough at two cups to make a whole meal (400 calorie/6 grams fat) out of. Yummy low fat goodness.
