Rotel Cheese Soup By: Lindsey

My small group leader in B'ham used to make this and Derek and I loved it. Serve with tortilla chips. Mmmmm good! 4 Chkn. breasts 1 Yellow Onion 1 Box(Large) Velveeta 1 Can Rotel 1 Can White Shoepeg corn Garlic Salt Salt Pepper -Boil chicken breasts in water along with chopped yellow onion(a little more than half of the onion), garlic salt, salt, and pepper. -After Chicken is done take it out of broth(KEEP THE BROTH) and tear a part and place back in broth. -Add Velveeta to broth. I would suggest chopping the velveeta up in small squares. It is easier to melt that way. -Add rotel and corn to broth. Cook and Simmer until hot. Stir often. The velveeta will burn to the bottom of the pot if you don't stir often. Taste the soup and see if you would like more garlic salt flavor. I personally, like a lot.
