  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
  • 2 cans (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, diced (1/2 cup)
  • 3 cups Progresso™ unsalted chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 4 corn tortillas (6 inch)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

  1. In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix corn, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles and onion. Stir in broth, chicken and taco seasoning. Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 hours or Low heat setting 8 hours.
  2. While soup is cooking, heat oven to 425°F. Brush both sides of each tortilla with vegetable oil. Stack tortillas, and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Spread in single layer on large cookie sheet, and sprinkle with salt; bake 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Cool.
  3. When ready to serve, ladle soup into serving bowls, and garnish with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, cilantro and avocado, as desired.

Tips

  • Looking for a shortcut? Use crumbled purchased baked tortilla chips in place of the recipe’s tortilla strip garnish.
  • Pinto beans can be substituted for the black beans.
