Crockpot Tortilla Soup by timelady

Ingredients

*1 (46 ounce) can chicken broth * 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce * 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes * 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie from the deli) * 2 anaheim chilies, diced * 1 jalapeno pepper, diced * 1/2 cup diced onion * 3-4 large tomatoes, diced * 2 garlic cloves, minced * 2 tablespoons minced cilantro * 1 tablespoon chili powder * 2 teaspoons cumin * 2 teaspoons pepper * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (I use the chipotle flavor) * 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional) Garnish * 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese * 1 avocado, chopped * 1/4 cup cilantro, pulled from stem * 1 lime, cut into wedges * 2 cups crushed tortilla chips

Instructions


Throw everything except the garnishes in your crock pot 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!


Enjoy!

If you are not using a crock pot, saute the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients.

Simmer for at least an hour so that the flavors mix together.
