Slow Cook Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

SOUP
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (10 oz.) can enchilada sauce
- 1 medium/small onion
- 4 jalapeno peppers (chopped)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups water
- 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth

- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 can mexican corn
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

CHIPS:
- 7 corn tortillas
- olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place chicken, tomatoes (I blender mine first), enchilada sauce, onion, chilies and garlic into slow cooker. Pour in water and chicken broth and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, paper and bay leaf. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours.

2. (for chips) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

3. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Cut tortillas into strips, then spread on a baking sheet.

4. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, about 10-15 minutes

5. (for soup) Remove chicken, cut/shred on cutting board and return to soup. Serve in bowls and garnish with avocado, sour cream, tortilla strips etc... YUM!
