Crock pot Chicken tortilla soup




We all have been battling whatever has been going around this week, kids are coughing up a storm and by no surprise I'm getting a touch of what they have too.  So I decided that I would make some soup, but not just any ordinary soup it's chicken tortilla soup.  It's loaded with flavor, protein, and high in fiber.  Enjoy my chicken tortilla soup! you won't be disappointed  Happy eating!!

Ingredients:

Crock pot

2 tomatoes diced

4 cloves of garlic minced

1 32 ounce box of chicken stock

1lb of chicken thighs (boneless/ skinless)

2  15 ounce cans of black beans ( drained,rinsed and washed)

2  15 ounce cans of corn ( drained, rinsed and washed)

1 tsp of crushed red pepper

1 diced medium sweet onion

1  20 ounce can of tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste.

lemon juice

Mexican cheese

Sour cream

Tortilla chips


Cook time 6-8 hours
Add all ingredients to slow cooker, cook on high for 4 hours then finish cooking on low for the remaining time.  about 2 hours before the cooking is finished take out the chicken and pull it apart and then put chicken back into the crock pot for further cooking.  

When ready to serve put lemon juice on top of the soup for additional flavor, also sour cream, and chives for topping it also goes great with tortilla chips on top!  Happy eating Enjoy!
