Directions
Southwestern Chicken and Bean Soup (Crock Pot), This soup has a good chili flavor and is simple to pull together even when the refrigerator is looking pretty bare I do substitute fresh ingredients when I have them and the time to prepare them, but I list canned ones here for convenience (and they do taste pretty good anyhow!) I leave the seeds in my chili pepper, but take them out if you want a milder taste, and adjust the seasonings accordingly as well This soup is very flexible – it’s a good way to use up leftover chicken, beans and corn, and I believe you could use ground beef or turkey or TVP in this just as easily as chicken breast I found a 6 can soup recipe on the web, but I altered it so much that it became something new, and this is the result , This soup was fabulous! My extrememly picky 2 1/2 year old had 4 helpings of it (she normally won’t even finish one serving of anything!) I made some minor adjustments based on lack of what I had and wanting some more veggies (hominy, carrots, celery) and I didn’t use the chile pepper but replaced with a can of green chile’s and used chicken breasts that I cooked I’m passing this one on to everyone I know!, This is delicious! I have been eating it for days I did do a couple things differently though I did not have a can of chicken so I browned about 3 chicken breasts (equally 1 3lbs) in olive oil, seasoned with adobo and threw them in whole to cook in the crockpot After about an hour and a half, I pulled them out and let them cool, then I shredded them and put them back in Also, I didn’t have any chili peppers, chili powder or cumin so I doubled the cayenne and used about 2 tsp of chili seasoning They come in 1oz packets I didn’t have fresh lime juice, so used only one T of the bottled kind I already had in the fridge I didn’t use the cheese at all and it was still great I bought it, but forgot all about it as the soup was already so good This is practically a chili The flavor is absolutely wonderful and has a kick to it I love spicy!
