GF/DF...It's What's for Dinner

This recipe has been lost for about 4 years. I found it about 7 years ago on a coupon forum that I belonged to and we absolutely loved the light, simple flavors of this recipe. Then one day it was gone. I'm sure I cleaned up the kitchen and put it somewhere "safe." Anyway I was beside myself and tried a few different recipes before I finally gave up and decided that it was useless.

Then, the day before my daughter was born I went through a freakish cleaning streak and started unpacking boxes from our move and getting rid of a lot of old gluten-y recipes from my stash. I was about to just dump my whole recipe box in the trash when a little voice in my head said: "Go through your recipes." All but this one and another recipe went in the trash. I was so over the moon about finding it, that later that night (or early the next morning??) when I was in transition and feeling quite uncomfortable I had to show my mom that I found the recipe I had been searching for for YEARS! Now it's digitized so it can never be lost again (hopefully).

Chicken Tortilla Soup with Chicken and Lime

(Coupon Sense forums)

4 cups water

3 tsp chicken bouillon (we use Better Than Bouillon)

1 can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with juices (we just used regular diced tomatoes)

1 can corn, drained (or 2 cups frozen corn)

1 bay leaf

2-3 garlic cloves, pressed

½ tsp cumin

½ cup raw rice, prepared (or 1 ½ cups cooked rice)

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

12 oz chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces and cooked in oil

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 lime

In enameled Dutch oven or soup pot combine water, bouillon, tomatoes, corn, bay leaf, garlic, cumin, prepared rice, and black beans. Bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Add cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
