- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts OR 2-3 cups of rotisserie chicken. I recommend doing 2 if you like less chicken in your tortilla soups
- 15 oz can of spicy black beans
- 1 oz taco seasoning packet
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 14.5 oz Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies I love Red Gold
- 1 jalapeño deseeded and chopped finely
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped finely
- 4 cloves garlic minced
At the end of the soup cooking
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 lime juiced
Optional
- tortilla strips ( see above for directions), cilantro, cheese, tomatoes & sour cream
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, jalapeño deseeded & chopped, onion & 2 garlic cloves minced. Sauté for 5 minutes on medium
Place the onion, jalapeño & garlic mixture at the bottom of the crock pot
Next add in your drained spicey black beans
After you will add in the Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (not drained) and the other 2 cloves garlic minced
Then, add in your chicken broth, taco seasoning ( mix well) then add in your chicken and heat on low for 4 hours.
Next add in frozen corn, juice of 1 lime and stir well. Add salt to taste
Take out chicken breasts to rest if you need to street. While resting add 1 1/2 cups soup to blender & blend, then add back in to give it a thicker consistency. Add back in shredded chicken.
Divide out into soup bowls, top with cilantro, tortilla strips avocado or whatever you prefer and enjoy!
