Recipe: Chicken Tortilla Soup

One of our favorite dinners when it’s raining or cold is chicken tortilla soup.  It’s requested often and is very easy to make.

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
Ingredients:
1 . 5 lbs of chicken breasts
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 medium onion
1 can (4 oz) green chilies
1 clove of garlic (minced)
2 c water
14 . 5 oz chicken broth

1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 bag (10 oz) frozen corn
1 Tbsp dried chopped cilantro
* You can also add black beans
Additional items for toppings:
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
tortilla chips
Directions:
1. I cook and shred my chicken in this super easy way.

2. Once the chicken is cooked and shredded, add all of the ingredients to the crock pot.
3. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
4. Top with any additional toppings you’d like and ENJOY!

    My hubs hates it when I try to put chicken in a crockpot, but this might be the exception to the rule…I'll give it a go!
