Cooking Instructions

  • Add chicken to 5 to 7 quart slow cooker.

  • Cover and cook on low heat 6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken and shred, then return to slow cooker along with black beans, corn, cilantro and lime juice, stir. Allow to cook until heated through.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, cheese and other optional ingredients.

Notes

Be sure to finely chop the onion so it cooks through in time and is tender. Try it with a diced red bell pepper for another veggie. Add a seeded diced jalapeno or two if you like some heat. Make your own fried or baked tortilla strips if desired. Toppings not included in nutritional info as these are optional and will vary. Recipe makes about 11 cups soup.
