soup for sick monkeys

I don't know who created this recipe but I figured I would post it for all to share! Enjoy!

In a large pot, saute onion and chopped pepper in olive oil until onion is soft. Add garlic and do not let it brown.
2 tsp. Olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 fresh red bell pepper, stemmed and seeded, finely chopped (a hot jalapeno is an optional substitute)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Add the following and bring mix to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes:

1 (32 oz.) can low-sodium, low fat chicken broth
1 (14 oz.) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 6 oz pkg fajita chicken breast, chopped or shredded
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Ground pure red chile powder
1 8-3/4 oz can whole corn (drained)
1 8-3/4 can kidney beans (drained)
1 15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed well)
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup water (optional)

After soup has simmered 20 minutes, add
1 cup broken yellow tortilla chips to the soup

Stir until smooth, bring it back to a boil, and turn heat to low (or place in a crock pot on low till you are ready to serve it).

To serve: place the soup in a bowls and garnish with:
3 small yellow corn tortillas, sliced into 1/4 inch strips
