When it's Friday Night...

...and this mama has energy drain,
and one teen is playing baseball in one town,
and another teen is playing softball in another town,
and I'm the designated zookeeper for the evening,
fully aware of the fact that everyone will eventually arrive home hungry...

...I turn to my top-secret tricks that make me look awesome, like:

TORTILLA SOUP
1 cup cooked chicken (especially awesome when I've precooked, prechopped and frozen it!)
1 tsp Cumin
28 oz crushed tomatoes
5-6 cups chicken broth
1 pack Lipton chicken noodle soup
1 can black beans
1 can sweet corn
Mix all the ingredients, simmer for 30 minutes or so, serve with tortillas and enjoy!
