Chicken Tortilla Soup

What to serve for dinner when you’re renovating your kitchen? That is the magic question around here these days. So, for the next month, I’m going to try and get by with a slow-cooker, a toaster, a microwave and a hot plate.

Last night, I made this and I have to admit it was pretty darn good. And so, so easy.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
3 cups of chicken stock
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 4 oz can green chiles
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed an drained
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded OR two chicken breasts cooked and cut into bite size pieces

Toppings (optional)

Fresh cilantro
Chopped green onions
Sour cream
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Crushed tortilla chips
Slice avocado

Place all ingredients in slow cooker and stir well to combine. Cook on low 6-7 hours and high 3-4 hours. Serve with toppings of your choice. Enjoy.
