National Tortilla Chip Day

I loooove my crock pot! Actually, I love cooking with my crock pot so much, I have 2 so I can use them 2 nights in a row even if I don't get around to doing the dishes the first night. So, to celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day tomorrow, Feb 24th, I'm sharing a delicious recipe for the crock pot and, of course, a homemade tortilla chip recipe.

My Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe is so easy and simple. It also uses ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen right now.

Ingredients:

First take your chicken and put it in the bottom of your crock pot.
 
Next, add your Rotel, whole kernel corn, and black beans. Coarsely chop bell pepper and onion; add these to the crock pot.


Add minced garlic, chili powder, and chicken broth. Stir to combine, then cover and cook on high 4 hours or low 8 hours.

After the soup is finished cooking, remove the chicken breast with a slotted spoon, place on a cutting board, and shred it. The chicken should really just fall apart as you shred it.

Return the chicken to your crock pot, ladle into bowls, top with cheese/ sour cream/ tortilla chips (I used my homemade chips), and enjoy!
