Add pepper and carrots and cook for another three minutes. Stir in chili powder and cumin, then add tomatoes, water and bouillion cubes. Simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add beans, rice and corn to soup and cook for another 15 minutes. Just before serving soup, add shredded chicken to the soup and cook until heated through. Serve garnished with cheddar cheese and tortilla chips. (Note: this soup is delicious with or without the chicken. If you so choose, you can leave the chicken out and simply make it as a vegetable soup) To round out the meal, serve with a green salad with ranch dressing and corn bread.
