Make
- When chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and shred or chop it. Return chicken to slow cooker. Season soup with some salt and pepper. Add some hot sauce (not in ingredients list) if you’d like the soup spicier.
- Crush tortilla chips and divide between serving bowls. Ladle soup over top of crushed chips (give the soup a stir to mix the tortilla chips in).
- Serve soup with avocados, limes, cilantro, sour cream, and extra tortilla chips to be added at the table. Enjoy!

Don't have a slower cooker so did this on the stove: (1) brown chicken, set aside (2) sauté veggies a bit (3) combine all spices, stock, etc with veggies and continue to sauté until veggies are pretty much cooked (4) add chicken back in (5) simmer for 15+min. Tasted amazing!

Really good. Not something I’d do every week. Make extra to freeze. Especially good with the lime, sour cream, and chips on top.
0 HelpfulReally enjoyed this! I always halve the spice for my boys and didn't even put in adobo sauce. I couldn’t get enough! (Actually there was plenty but was sooo good!)
0 HelpfulDecent. There was some flavor in there, like a tartness? that I wasn't a fan of. This was prior to using any lime juice. It didn't taste as good as it smelled (although it admittedly smelled amazing) so I was disappointed.
