Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 boneless, skinless whole chicken breasts
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 28-ounce can whole or diced tomatoes, with juice
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth (more if you like the soup more liquid)
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles, such as Ro*tel
4 ounces tomato paste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo (you may add 2 to 3 if you like)
1/2 lime, juiced
Fixings: avocado, sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips and fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, tomatoes with chiles, tomato paste, onion, chipotle pepper and red and yellow peppers. Stir, place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
  • Stir in the lime juice. Remove the chicken to a plate and use 2 forks to break it into chunks (or shred it finely). Return the chicken to the pot, taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve piping hot in a bowl with avocado, sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips and cilantro leaves on top!

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. The flavor is incredible and it's so easy to make. I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. It's the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

This soup is so good! I made it last night and it was delicious. The chicken was so tender and the broth was so flavorful. I added a little bit of extra spice to it and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this soup again.
