One of my favorite casseroles in "stoup" form. The tortilla chips soak up the creamy broth just like tortillas soften in the casserole. Great kickin' back comfort food.

You'll go back for seconds after trying this chicken "stoup". Not as thick as stew or thin as soup, this "stoup" has an assortment of ingredients that all pair well together. The tomatoes with chiles add a nice kick of heat. We enjoyed the pops of sweetness from the corn and sweet bell pepper. Creamy, without being too thick, it's a hearty meal.
