Chicken Tortilla Soup...Hold the tortilla!

So I haven't blogged in a while. Things have been crazy with school, work and getting all my work- outs in. Robbie and I registered for the wedding last weekend and it was a blast! A few things from our wish lists include: a juicer, new bedroom & bathroom stuff, and many other miscellaneous household items! Yes, we even registered for fine china! haha it was so much fun. The wedding is right around the corner and right now I am preparing for pictures with my brides maids on March 10th and then pics with Robbie not far after that so I am trying to stay focused!

Here is the recipe to the soup I made in the crock pot. It is soo good!

Chicken Tortilla Soup:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of an onion, diced
• 1 small can tomato puree
• 1 can of southwestern style tomatoes (I get mild)
• 1 large can of chopped tomatoes (You can use fresh chopped tomatoes instead)
• 1 can sweet corn (NO SALT ADDED)
• 1 can reduced sodium black beans
• 4 medium/large chicken breasts
• 1 jallapeno, chopped
• 1 box low sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp chili powder (I used 2 different kinds)
• Dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Pour the whole box of broth into the crock pot
2. Add the diced onions
3. Add the chopped jallapenos
4. Add the can of tomato puree
5. Add the chicken breasts
6. Add the southwestern tomatoes and the chopped tomatoes
7. Add the corn and black beans
8. Stir everything together
9. Add the chilli powder, salt and pepper 
10. Cook on low over night and in the morning you will have an amazing smelling soup! The chicken breasts will tear apart at this point 

I love this soup! It is so good...seriously, it tastes just like what restaurants serve just without the tortilla chips on top and the cheese! Robbie loves it because it is pretty spicy but not too spicy for me to eat and it will last you for days. You could even freeze half of it for another time if you can't get through the whole pot on your own. : ) Enjoy
