Chicken Tortilla Soup

Hello all!!!

Here's the deal. I've had several requests for my Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe. So, here it is!! I'd like to mention, that it is NOT spicy at all. I make it to be kid-friendly in the spicy area, so if you like some kick - add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to your own bowl :-) Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 frozen chicken breasts, or 7 frozen chicken breast tenders
1 can chopped, peeled tomatoes (juice and all)
1 (10 oz) can mild enchilada sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 oz) can chopped mild green chile peppers
2 cloves minced garlic
2 cups water
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth, or your favorite homemade chicken broth
1 can rinsed black beans
1 can olives, chopped
Use the olive can to fill with frozen corn to equal one can
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
some crushed bay leaf
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
chopped FRESH cilantro. As much as you like!! I like a lot, so it's about 2 tablespoons or so that goes in while it cooks.

Mix all ingredients in the crock pot. Then add frozen chicken and push to the bottom. Cook for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high.

To serve:
Serve soup in bowl. Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, more fresh chopped cilantro, and crushed yellow corn tortilla chips. ENJOY!!!
