enchilada sauce (mild) - but kick up the heat with a spicier one if you wish.


chopped green chilis


drained and rinsed black beans and sweet corn niblets


low sodium chicken broth

1 cup diced onion

2 large garlic cloves, minced

2 rounded tsp cumin

1 dried bay leaf


2 large chicken breasts


kosher salt to taste


black pepper to taste

2 corn tortillas, cut into small squares


one small can of tomato paste


Cover and cook!

This is at the end of 4 hours on High. Ready to eat!
To Finish - Remove chicken when cooked and shred with a fork. If you are pureeing the soup, keep the chicken out and covered to stay hot. Add a little of the liquid to prevent it from drying out. If not pureeing, add the shredded chicken back to the soup, and you are ready to eat.


Don't forget to pull out the bay leaf.
