Chicken Tortilla Soup

Originally posted by Paige Hooper

‎2lbs (4breasts) of chicken
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jar of salsa, your choice (I used Trader Joes' Organic tomatillo roasted yellow chile salsa)
1 QT Chicken broth
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp corriander
1 TBS minced garlic, or 3 cloves
1/2 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup black beans, cooked (I used canned)
1/4 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
Greek yogurt*
shredded cheese
hot sauce (I used Tepatio. You could also add this to the pot if everyone would eat it that way!)

Drizzle some oil on bottom of Slow-cooker. Place chicken on bottom in one layer, salt and pepper lightly. Place onion, garlic and red pepper on chicken. Mix salsa, broth, cumin, coriander in separate bowl and pour into pot. Cook on high for three hours or low for 6-8 (? regular chicken times for your pot). 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add corn, beans and cilantro. Top with small amount of sour cream, cheese and hot sauce when serving.

I am making this soup now. I made a couple changes:

I am out of cumin (a shame, really, but I didn't realize it until I was already putting the soup together) and I omitted the red pepper; instead, I used a huge white onion. Also, I added a can of hot Rotel to my salsa/broth mixture; I only had about a half jar of salsa anyway. I added chile ancho powder and smoked paprika, and I used skinless boneless thighs instead of breasts. Although it seems like a lot of changes to the recipe, I think it will be similar enough. I can't wait to taste it!
