Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Soup image

I always keep certain canned goods on hand to whip up standards. You can cook chicken thighs ahead of time and add to this slow cooker Mexican soup, or you can put boneless cuts of chicken in at the beginning of the cooking time. Slightly spicy, it's a terrific 'comfort' food!

This soup was amazing! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
