Hey y'all! so this soup is very delicious! It is a little bit similar to the Hearty Chicken tortilla soup, but only because you eat it with tortilla chips (and cheese for us!)
But it is a great one for a long work day... just put all the ingredients in (except corn and green pepper) and let it cook all day while you are at work, add the final two ingredients a half hour before you want to eat! and there you go... a great soup, that wasn't a whole lot of work :)
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut up (i used chicken breasts and it was great)
2 med. dark orange sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in cubes (about 2 cups)
1 lg onion, chopped
1 (28oz) can diced tomatoes
1 3/4c (I 14.5oz can) chicken broth
1/2 c green bell pepper, chopped (i just used a whole green pepper)
2tsp dried oregano leaves
1tsp ground cumin
1c frozen corn (i really like corn so i added an extra cup)
2TBS chopped fresh cilantro (or dried)
Tortilla chips
Cheese (optional)
In crock-pot, mix chicken, sweet potatoes, onion, tomatoes, broth, oregano and cumin (if using dried cilantro, add it in as well, that's what i did). Cover and cook on low for 7-8hrs. Stir in corn and bell pepper. Increase heat to high; cover and cook 30 mins. or until chicken is no longer pink and veggies are tender. Spoon soup into bowls and top with fresh cilantro and chips (and cheese if desired).
*I used dried cilantro so I didn't put any on top. I am glad i used dried and added it into the crock pot in the morning because i think it added to the flavor. But feel free to try it the way the recipe says :)
