Spicy Chicken Soup

I made this wonderful soup on Tuesday night after a crazy day of weather here in Indiana. It wasn’t twenty minutes after I walked into school that we were all huddled in the hallway because of a tornado warning. I knew by watching the news in the morning that severe weather was headed our way, however, even if I didn’t watch the news I should have known something was brewing, the students were WAY too quiet and orderly when they came into school. It seemed like we were huddled in the hallway forever! After a half an hour with the kids sitting with their knees pulled up to their chests and hands behind their necks, the tornado warning was over. Luckily no tornado touched down near us, but there were 8 confirmed tornadoes in the state. When I got home from school I was craving a warm and comforting soup, this recipe hit the spot. I served it with dinner rolls and a small caesar salad. Shredded chicken, corn, chunks of tomatoes, and spices simmer together to create a spicy and flavorful soup your family will love on a chilly fall evening.
