1 28oz. can whole tomatoes, diced
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Preparation:
On low heat, saute: oil, onions, and last 30 sec add the garlic
Move to high heat and add. chilies, cilantro, tomatoes, broth, cumin, sugar, and lime juice
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes
Now add cooked chicken and salt and pepper and let it simmer for another 10 minutes
