Ingredients
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) crushed tomatoes with juices, can, or diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14 fluid ounce) black beans drained & rinsed, canned
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) corn drained, canned
- 1/2 onion chopped, medium
- 4 celery chopped, sticks
- 2 carrot peeled & sliced, large
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
- 3-4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
To serve:
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cilantro chopped, handful, fresh
- lime juice of 1/2 lime
Garnish (optional):
- tortilla chip crushed
- Greek yogurt or sour cream
- jalapeño sliced
- avocado slices
- lime wedges
- ...etc!
Instructions
- Prep your onion, celery, and carrots.
- Add all the soup ingredients except for salt & pepper, cilantro, and lime juice to your Crockpot. I like to give everything a good stir prior to adding the chicken breasts. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Once the soup is cooked, shred the chicken with 2 forks and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Season to taste with salt & pepper if desired.
- Garnish the soup with any/all of the garnish suggestions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to swap the chicken breasts for boneless/skinless chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat. I'd add 4-6 of them for this recipe and keep the cooking time the same. Anything up to about 2 pounds worth will work. Chicken thighs tend to retain their moisture better than chicken breasts, so keep that in mind.
- This is the 7-quart Crockpot I used to make this recipe.
