Slow Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Soup

Slow Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Soup blends black beans, rotel tomatoes, green chiles, and chicken breast with warming spices like cumin and ancho chile powder. The slow cooker method yields tender shredded chicken in a lightly spiced broth, finished with fresh cilantro, scallions, lime wedges, avocado slices, and optional sour cream for garnish. The soup is hearty and comforting with Tex-Mex flavors.
