  • 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 1 tsp. chipotle chile powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 cup water

For the Toppings:

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and shredded chicken; saute for about 2 minutes. Add chipotle chile powder and cumin; stir well. Add water, salt, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Top soup with baked tortilla strips, cilantro and a lime wedge and enjoy!
  • NOTE: To make in the crock pot, add uncooked chicken and the rest of ingredients through the tomatoes, cover and place on high for 3 to 4 hours or low 6 to 8 hours.
