We first tried this soup around the holidays, when it was so cold outside we thought we’d never warm up. It has since become a favorite not just because it is so yummy, but also because it is so easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 Can diced tomatoes with jalapeños
- 1 Can Kidney beans in chili sauce
- 1 Can Black Beans
- 1 Can Diced green chilies
- 1 Cup frozen corn
- 3 Cups chicken broth (or soup mix)
- 4 Chicken frozen thighs (or 3 breasts)
- Tortilla chips (as many as you want – I was out and the soup was still yummy)
- Crema mexicana to top it off (optional)
Optional goodies:
- 1 Packet of taco seasoning
- Ground cumin to taste
- Chili powder to taste
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- Whatever seasoning you really like
After lining the crock pot, put the frozen chicken on the bottom, then add all ingredients except the corn and broth. I like to include the water or sauce from each can for extra flavor. If using a powdered broth or soup, mix 3 cups worth and add to pot. Finally, add the frozen corn. Set pot on low for 10 hours, & go about your day.
About an hour before serving, remove the chicken, shred it, then put back in pot. Give it a good stir, and consider which optional goodies you may want to add. If I’m in a hurry, I like to throw in taco seasoning and call it good. Give it another good stir or two then let the flavors do their thing for the next hour.
