Cheesy Chicken Soup

One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is take something simple and give it what is lovingly referred to on Project Runway as the  "wow factor".  Not only does it make me feel creative, but it also shows other women who don't like to cook that it is relatively simple to make something delicious. I started with Cookwell & Company Hatch Verde Tortilla Soup. It is one of my favorite brands for bottled products because it is all natural and low in calorie count (120 for one cup). I added in seasoned shredded chicken breast, a small Velveeta, 1 cup of chicken stock, and fat free half and half. After a bit of simmering and stirring, the added ingredients completely changed the soup to a creamy sophisticated dish.
