Grandma's Favorite Chicken Tortilla Soup

Every Friday we have "Grandma Day" at our house, when my Grandma comes over for lunch and to see the kids and make memories with us and do puzzles with my big boy and color with my little girl.  She loves soup, and this is one of her very favorites.  

Chicken Tortilla Soup
from Amy Newton's blog

1 rotisserie chicken, deboned
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 can black beans (not drained)
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 jar chunky salsa

Garnishes:
corn tortilla chips to taste (great way to use up stale chips!)
sour cream to taste
shredded colby jack cheese to taste
avocado chunks to taste

Saute the onions and garlic over medium heat in the oil in the bottom of your soup pot.  (I love my dutch oven for this.)  Once cooked, toss everything else in into the pot over medium heat and warm until heated through.  Also works well in a crockpot, after you have sauted those aromatics.
Put a handful of crunched up chips in the bottom of bowl and top with warm soup. Add shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado to taste.
