My sweet friend Amy has just put on bed rest for pregnancy related complications...and what's a friend to do to help...but cook! One of the best things someone brought to me while I was on leave with Markey was tortilla soup! Was a refreshing meal and so tasty!
The crockpot was a great way to make this. Seriously just DUMPED everything in the pot, and let it cook! I did save a serving for myself to try, but Amy said she had it for dinner and lunch and it was delish!
Ingredients:
2 frozen chicken breasts
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Rotel
3 TBSP tomato paste
1 c frozen corn
1 TBSP cumin
1 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 box low sodium chicken broth
I think that was about it. I cooked mine on low for about 6 hours. About an hour before I was finished, I opened the crock to shred up the chicken and then let it continue to cook. I brought it to Amy with a bag of shredded cheese, a bag of tortilla chip strips and 2 avocados! I am so glad she enjoyed it and I look forward to trying to myself tomorrow for lunch! :)
