Chicken Tortilla Soup

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast, dicced
3 TBS. olive oil
1/4 cup flour
2 large cans tomato sauce
1- 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup skim milk
2 carrots, sliced thin
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cans black beans
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 tsp. garlic
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
chili powder to taste

In a large stockpot combine olive oil and chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add flour and allow it to soak up the remaining oil. Add tomato sauce, chicken broth and whisk until smooth. Allow to simmer while adding the milk, tomatoes, black beans, carrots and green pepper. Stir in garlic and continue to simmer on low heat. Gradually add chili powder to your liking. Serve over tortilla chips broken in a bowl. Add cheese, sour cream or guacamole!

THIS MAKES A LOT, BUT IT FREEZES REALLY WELL. SO MAKE SOME AND SAVE SOME FOR LATER!
