Cook Time: 7 hours

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 10oz cans of Ro-Tel (I like the lime & cilantro, but the regular is fine)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can corn

1 onion, chopped

2 14.5oz cans low-sodium chicken broth

1-2 cups of water

1 Tbsp garlic powder*

1 Tbsp chile powder*

1 Tbsp ground cumin*

1 Tbsp dried cilantro*

tortilla chips

sour cream

shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

fresh cilantro

Directions

Put chopped onion, cans of beans, rotel, corn, chicken broth, water, and spices in CrockPot and stir to mix.
Put chicken breasts on top of mixture and make sure they're at least partly submerged in liquid. Cook on high 6-7 hours or low 8-9 hours.
Before serving remove the chicken breasts from soup and shred, if needed, (sometimes they'll just fall apart on their own, but sometimes they need some help).
Return chicken to CrockPot, stir to combine.

Notes

Instead of these spices, you could include a packet of Taco seasoning if you prefer.

To serve put a few tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl, ladle soup over tortilla chips, top with shredded cheddar cheese, (today I used the Kraft Mexican blend and it was yummy), fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, serve with more chips if you like. Enjoy!

I’ve never had or even heard of tortilla soup. However, all the ingredients are family favorites and I just know the flavor than comes from slow,l long cooking.

Sounds amazing and looks so easy. I love crock-pot meals and this is a great one for a cold winter night like tonight. Anything with Rotel is good! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I made this for dinner tonight. My husband doesn’t like kidney beans so I swapped it out for black eyed beans though I suspect any bean would have worked just as well. WELL, my husband who is NOT a bean lover at all couldn’t eat enough of this. He actually ate THREE bowls and asked me if there was enough for leftover! Sometimes I just never know about him. Thanks for the recipe.
