Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

By Pattywak

Oh, there will definitely be a next time. I have to tell you, this is now my favorite chicken tortilla soup. The family loved it and it had just the right amount of spice for us. If you like things spicier, you can add some more heat. The chicken was also falling apart as it was being pulled from the crock pot, so tender.

If someone does not like black beans, just grind them up in a food processor and pour them in.

Ingredients

• 1 can black beans, drained
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce size – southwest style, if possible I used petite diced tomatoes w/ sweet onion)
• 1 packet enchilada sauce mix (or if you can’t find this, mild taco seasoning works well too, this is what I used)
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce
• 1 can ( 10 3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups milk
• 3-4 boneless chicken breasts (I only used 2 chicken breasts)
