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!

Everyone loved it. One thing I changed: I used the immersion blender and made it pretty smooth prior to adding in the lentils and corn as my family doesn't like chunky tomatoes and peppers. We will definitely make this one again!

Really liked this and it made a ton of leftovers that have made good lunches during the week.
0 HelpfulThis was excellent! Made exactly as written except used a whole small bag of corn and only 3 cups of stock. I think this may be one of my favorite CS soups.
0 HelpfulSOOOOO easy and minimum prep/clean-up. I followed others' lead and reduced the amount of broth. I also upped the amount of chili powder and chipotle en adobo - but I like things spicier than most.
