Anna's Chicken Tortilla Soup



I don't know what I would do if it were not for my crockpot.  Life is so much easier with it.  We spent the whole day in another city for doctor's appointments.  I drug my tired body in the house only to smell the most delicious aroma wafting through my home.

My SIL gave me this healthy soup recipe and it has definitely become a family favorite...

1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of green chili sauce
1 4oz can of green chilis
1 can of corn (drained and rinsed)
1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can of chicken broth
3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts ( I use the frozen kind from Sam's)
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cups water
1 Tbl cumin
1 Tbl Red Chili Powder ( at another tsp if you like spicy)
1 Tbl Garlic Salt

Place all of the ingredients in the crockpot.  You can cook it on high or low for 5-10 hours.  Take the chicken out right before serving and shred.  You CAN NOT mess up this recipe.  It is so easy!!

I like to add fresh cilantro, cheese and sour cream to the top.  I also add fresh tortilla strips to the top.
I like to make my at home.  Also very easy.


3-5 Whole Wheat Tortillas
Olive Oil
Salt (to taste)
Chili Powder (to taste)

Slice tortillas into 1/4" strips.  Drizzle oil oil in the top.  Sprinkle on the salt and chili powder to taste.  Bake in the oven at 450 for about 10 minutes.  Crispy goodness!!
