Christmas Eve Chicken Tortilla-less Soup

• olive oil
• 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast fillets, diced
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 2 tsp. cumin
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 - 14 oz. can crushed tomatoes
• 1 - 48 oz. container reduced sodium chicken broth

Drizzle a pot with olive oil. Add the chicken, seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often.  Add the chili powder and cumin and continue to cook 1 minute, continuously stirring, to coat the chicken evenly with the spices. 

Add the garlic, onion, and bell peppers, and cook until the veggies start to get soft, about 3 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
