AMAZING CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP!

Amazing Chicken Tortilla Soup! image

This recipe has been a huge hit with everyone who has ever tried it. We make it almost weekly, and the leftovers are eaten immediately. It is also very healthy! It is a little spicy, so if you don't have too much of a tolerance for spicy foods, you may choose to leave out the seeds of the jalapeño. If you love spicy, like we do, extra cayenne pepper adds even more zing. Enjoy!

Categories Soup/Stew Chicken Tomato Vegetable

Yield 8 bowls (about)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cans chicken broth/stock
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes (can use another can of crushed if you don't like chunks or vice versa)
1 can whole corn kernels
1 can black beans
1 small can green chilies (optional to taste)
1 14-oz can enchilada sauce
1 small onion (diced)
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
3 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons chili powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1.5 lb. chicken (cut into pieces and cooked, I use breasts, but any meat will do, sometimes I use leftover meat from a whole chicken and just shred it up... whatever I have on hand really. Sometimes I even make it with beef!)
Optional Garnishes: sour cream, cheddar cheese, avocados and tortilla strips.

Steps:

I just dump all of this in the slow-cooker and let it go for a few hours, sometimes I need to add a little extra chicken stock, depending on how thick it is... For a great garnish, you could use store bought tortilla chips, but I like to make my own tortilla strips, and it is super easy! You need: 1 pkg. flour tortillas, and a few tablespoons of veg. oil. Just brush both sides of the tortillas with the veg. oil and cut into thin strips. Place strips on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes, turning them halfway through. They are crispy and delish in the soup! =] This is a favorite of all my friends and family!
