I don't know why it's called tortilla soup since it doesn't have tortillas in it, but it's still good, so I thought I'd share it. Mark & I have made this a couple times and really like it. It's super easy since it's made in the crock pot and for those of you who don't like working with raw meat it's great since the chicken goes in frozen and comes out cooked! Enjoy! :)
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 (10 oz.) can whole, peeled, drained & mashed tomatoes
- 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen corn
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chili peppers
- 1 (10 oz.) can enchillada sauce, mild
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 2 frozen chicken breasts
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro (opt.)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in crock pot, cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours (or on high for 3 or 4 hours). Remove chicken and shred, then add back to the pot. Serve with chips, cheese, sour cream, guacamole or anything else that sounds good... now wasn't that easy?! :)

Dear Jill:
It's called Tortilla Soup
I don't know why it's called tortilla soup since it doesn't have tortillas in it, but it's still good
because the original recipe (which was not made in a crock pot) called for finishing it with sliced tortillas.
Thought I'd answer the question. :)

Miss M~ in Kenya who wishes she had some Tortilla Soup right now :'(
