Chicken Taco Soup

This recipe was adapted from Allrecipes.com.   I altered some of the original ingredients to what the Allrecipes reviews said was best (I omited the Beer because reviewers said it was too bitter and I used the homemade taco seasoning that was suggested).

Ingredients:
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 can Kidney Beans, drained
1 can Black Beans, drained
1 can Whole Kernel Corn, drained
8 oz can Tomato Sauce
1 can Chicken Broth
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis, undrained
2-3 cups shredded chicken
Bill Echols Taco Seasoning (below)
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1-2 Avocados, sliced
Tortilla Chips

Bill Echols Taco Seasoning:
1/4 tsp chili powder (use 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp for a hotter flavor)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 - 1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Directions:
  1. Place the onion, kidney beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, chicken broth, shredded chicken and diced tomatoes in a large pot. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend.  Let simmer 5-10 minutes.
  2. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
