Simple Taco Soup (A nice keto meal OR could be a vegetarian dish too)

Ingredients

• 2 or more cups cooked meat of your choice:  You could use leftover pulled pork, hamburger that is already browned, or I usually use shredded or chopped chicken the day after we have baked chicken for dinner.  Just pick the extra meat off the bone and set aside, and don't forget to cook the bones all day for the broth!  (Or use this shelf-stable super good-for-you broth that's already made!)  Pasture raised chicken is best.  Click here if you don't have a good local source for healthy pastured meats.
• 1 can organic black beans, drained — I love the beans at that link, they're already soaked for you!
• 1 cup fresh or frozen organic sweet corn (if you're not watching your carbs)
• 4 cups of your favorite organic salsa OR if you don't have salsa on-hand, add approximately 2 cups organic canned tomatoes plus 2 cups tomato sauce with extra spices like 1 Tablespoon cumin, 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, maybe a few shakes of dried oregano and parsley if you'd like — fresh herbs are even better if you have them, and for all of this just adapt to your own taste preferences.)  Here's my homemade salsa recipe – this can be made ahead or I do buy it at the store sometimes.
• 4-6 cups homemade chicken broth.  (I now know how quick and simple pressure cooker broth is so I can make some mineral-rich broth more quickly in a pinch.  Again, if you just don't think you will make it or want some on hand for when you're really crunched for time, try this bone broth — it's 100% grass-fed with a bunch of gelatin, organic ingredients, and it's shelf stable!  I love keeping their beef and chicken broth on-hand for quick recipes because they make it just like I do here, and without the nasty msg-like ingredients, additives, or preservatives that store-bought has.)
• Optional – we like all of this in there too:  chopped celery, peppers, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, fresh garlic, etc. – but a lot of that is probably already in your salsa if you're using that, that's why this is such an easy recipe.  If you add any of these, just be sure you give them time to cook in the broth for 10-20 minutes or so to get soft.
• Sea salt to your taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese – Monterey Jack, cheddar, whatever you like
• Sour cream or cream cheese
• Tortilla chips (optional, again, only if you're not watching the carbs in your diet) – I buy organic to avoid GMO ingredients and other nasties!
• A couple limes, organic if you can find them
