C :: Week 1 :: Slow Cooker Chicken Soup

It's C here, and I'm working on my blog post.  First one this year!  I made it back to Mexico on Saturday, so I made my first weeks meal on Sunday afternoon.  And surprisingly it turned out pretty good. :)

I kind of made it up.  I knew what I was looking for :: an easy slow cooker soup, that cooked the chicken, and tasted super amazing!  And that's just what I got. :)

So here's how I made my soup, including pictures & all ::





















So here is the ingredient list ::
2 cups chicken broth
2 tomatoes :: diced
2 Tablespoons taco seasoning (I have a homemade one that I use)
1 can of corn *not drained
1 can pinto beans :: drained & rinsed
1 can black beans :: drained & rinsed
1 can of tomato sauce
1 onion :: diced
2 green chiles (( mine look super different because I live in Mexico and for like 75 cents I can get 10 fire roasted chiles at the grocery store :) ))
3-4 chicken breasts * they go on top last

Basically you put it all in the crock pot (mine's a 5 qt. one) and then you stir it, and place the chicken breasts on top.




















This is what mine looked like ::





















Then I cooked it for 6 hours on low.






















But I didn't eat mine until the next day because I wasn't hungry.  But I served the soup with cilantro, cheese, limes, and avocados.  And it was super good!  :)  I enjoyed it a lot, and my lunch guests devoured it & asked for seconds!  Definitely a keeper recipe.
