Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Now that it’s Fall and the weather is getting cooler it’s time to break out some yummy soup recipes!  This is one I have made before but it’s been awhile.  For the original recipe please check out www.bakedbyrachel.com.  I made some tweaks to the original recipe because, to me, it needed some more flavor!  This soup was tested by my hubby and gets his stamp of approval!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. boneless chicken breast
  • 15 oz can sweet corn kernels or 15 oz frozen corn
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes, drained (I recommend Ro-Tel)
  • 5C chicken stock
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper (I used red because it’s my favorite)
  • 1 serrano pepper, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • Cumin (to taste)
  • Sea salt
  • Ground pepper
  • Shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Seasoned tortilla strips

 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Add the first 9 ingredients to your slow cooker plus sea salt and pepper to taste.  Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  2. Prior to serving, shred the chicken breasts.  This can easily be done with a fork or you can transfer the chicken to the bowl of your stand mixer and shred with a pa20161007_191219ddle attachment.  Optional: season the chicken with sea salt and pepper.
  3. If removed, return chicken to slow cooker and stir gently.  
  4. Serve immediately and top with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheese and tortilla strips.
