This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein to keep me moving a bit longer.
3 chicken breast, in a pot with about 6 cups of water.
add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, remove skin/bones
Or if you are cooking Grilled Chicken the night before do 2-3 extra and
use 4 cups of Can Chicken Broth (easier)
Pull chicken out and shred.

Suggestions
- When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it's wonderful.
- Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
- You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don't want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
- This is a make it your own soup.
- We eat this year round, mostly I think because it's a great solo-lunch for me.
- It's very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.
