Sonoran Chicken Chili image

A easy to make, tasty soup from the Junior League Celebration cookbook. I added this recipe with hopes of trying it someday. Finally had a chance to tonight. This is quick and easy to make and is very good. If you have fresh cilantro, sprinkle some on when you serve to make it even better.
