Chicken, Black Bean and Tortilla soup

This is just full of absolute yumminess!!! Perfect on a colder day, maybe with some Jalepeno Cheddar Corn Bread (Recipe to follow later)...

1T Butter
1/2 onion diced finley
1 quart Chicken Stock or broth
2 cooked and diced chicken breasts (Seared, Baked, grilled,smoked... how ever you like it)
1 can rinsed Black Beans
1/2 Bag Frozen Corn
1 T ground Cumin
1 Bunch Fresh Cilantro chopped finley
4 Tortillas diced in 1" x 1" squares

Melt butter in pan and add onion
Sweat onion until translucent
Add Chicken stock
Simmer Chicken breasts and Cumin in stock and bring to a rolling boil
Add Corn and bring back to boil
Reduce heat and add Black Beans
Cook for 5-8 minutes
Add Cilantro
Simmer on low heat for 5 min
Add tortillas and cover

Tortillas will thicken your stock as well as add a "noodle" to your soup!
