The ingredients needed to make Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup:
- Take 3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (I like dark meat - more flavor. :) )
- Get 6 cups water
- Take 1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Get 6 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
- Get 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces (I like to cut them big for slow cooking so they don't disintegrate and still retain some texture)
- Prepare 1 medium bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (I happened to use the Hatch chilies I roasted the other day, but they're seasonal and sometimes hard to come by even when they're in season)
- Make ready 1 large stem celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

- Prepare 1-1.5 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice

- Make ready 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional, but recommended)
- Prepare optional garnish: fried tortilla chips or strips, chopped fresh chilies, onions, cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges
How to make Southwest Chicken Soup in the Slow Cooker: Combine onion, peppers, jalapenos, white beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, beer, and chicken stock in a slow cooker (<-my fave!), then add taco seasoning. Mix all the ingredients together and add the chicken breasts. Press them down so they are mostly covered. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned, stirring often.
Steps to make Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup:
- Dump all but garnish ingredients into your slow cooker and give it a few good stirs.
- Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or high for 5 to 7, depending on how hot your slow cooker gets.
- It's always nice if you can give the soup a few gentle stirs throughout the cooking process, but if you can't manage that because you're out of the house, then you can give it a stir and adjust the seasoning as necessary as soon as you get home. This will give the soup some time to more evenly and thoroughly absorb flavor before you sit down to enjoy it.
- I like it with a little steamed rice, some chopped onions and cilantro on top, a good extra squeeze of lime, and a few lashings of Tapatío. :) - - Enjoy!
