A relatively quick soup that's almost easier than having your favorite Mexican restaurant make it for you! Adjust the heat level to your liking. The garnishes here really take this soup over the top, so no fair skipping!

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (I use rotisserie from the deli)
  • 2 Anaheim chilies, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 3-4 large tomatoes, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbs. minced cilantro
  • 1 Tbs. chili powder
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. Tabasco sauce (I use the chipotle flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp. chipotle peppers (optional)
  • Garnishes:
  • 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1/4 C. cilantro, pulled from stem
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 C. crushed tortilla chips

Directions

Throw everything except the garnishes in your crockpot and let it cook on high for 5-6 hours. Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of lime (a must) and you're good to go!

If you are not using a crockpot, sauté the garlic and onion in 2 Tbs. olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients. Simmer for at least an hour so that the flavors mix together.
