Green Chile Soup

By rebecca78

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 lbs. chuck roast
• 3 10-1/2 oz. cans chicken broth (or similar box broth equivalent)
• 2 7 oz. cans chopped green chiles
• 1 20 oz. can Ro-Tel brand diced tomatoes original style
• 1 15 oz. can refried beans

Preparation

Step 1

Fill a crockpot with 1/4″ of water. On high, cook the chuck roast completely until it falls apart (in my crockpot, this usually takes three to four hours). (You can also cook it on low 7-8 hours.) Drain off the water, remove the fat, and shred up the roast. Pour in the cans of broth, the chopped green chiles, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and refried beans. Let the soup simmer on high for an hour, and then turn the crockpot to low until you are ready to eat (but I wouldn’t exceed five hours). We usually serve the soup with warm flour tortillas or tortilla chips, and grated cheddar cheese.
