Crock Pot Tortilla Soup
Description
Crock Pot Tortilla Soup combines shredded chicken with black beans, corn, crushed and diced tomatoes, and a spicy blend of cumin and chili powder. The base includes sautéed onion, garlic, and diced jalapeño for a mild heat. Cooking everything in a slow cooker tenderizes the chicken and allows the flavors to meld slowly. The tortilla strips, fried until crispy, add a crunchy garnish that contrasts nicely with the smooth, slightly thick broth.
The soup’s savory and mildly spicy character suits it well as a lunch or dinner option, served on its own or with additional fresh cilantro or avocado if desired. The fried tortillas can be prepared in batches and added just before serving to maintain their crispness.
