Spicy Chicken Soup

The kiddos weren't home for this one, but the hubby loved it, and so did I! I think the kids would have liked it, but they are used to spicy...

2 chicken breasts (Boiled and shredded or finely diced)
1 box of chicken broth (I go organic low sodium)
2 cups of water
7 oz can of diced green chilis
10 oz can of Rotel (tomatoes with diced green chilis, but it really pays to go brand name on this, the store brands are too Italian-y(?)
1/3 - 1/2 of each type of onion diced, white, yellow and red
Jalapeno to taste
Cumin
Johnny's Seasoning
White Pepper
Touch of Cayenne Pepper and/or Chili Powder

If you can eat corn and aren't worried about the carbs, by all means, add corn.
We also thought that some pinto beans would be super tasty in this and may allow you to use less chicken (cost savings) but they're too high in carbs for our diet, so I didn't go there either.
It does have a good kick to it, but of course you control how hot it gets. I think this would be perfect for a really cold winter day after playing in the snow, or when you're sick and need to clear out your sinuses.
