Chipotle Chicken Soup

Chipotle Chicken Soup is full of flavor from the chipotle chiles and easy to make in your slow cooker. The perfect dinner for a busy Fall evening.

I like to cook chicken in my slow cooker on days when I can put it in later in the afternoon. Chicken doesn’t need to cook as long as pork or beef does. Chicken really only needs 3- 4 hours.

I really wasn’t sure what to call today’s recipe. It’s not a soup but it has a bit of liquid in it so I decided to call it a stew.  To thicken it up a bit I like to place tortilla chips in the bottom of the bowl and then scoop the stew on top of it. The stew also has red peppers, green peppers and onions in it.

Ingredients Needed

• Chicken Breasts, boneless, skinless
• Chicken Broth
• Olive Oil
• Red Onion
• Peppers, green and red
• Cilantro
• Cumin
• Chopped chipotle chili, canned in adobo sauce

How To Make Chipotle Chicken Soup

• Add chicken and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes each.
• Place browned chicken into slow cooker.
• Combine red onion, peppers, broth, cilantro, cumin, chilies, garlic, tomatoes and pour over chicken.
• Cook on low for 4 hours.
• Remove chicken and shred, then return meat to slow cooker.
