This soup tastes like a chicken taco or chicken tamale! A great change from regular chili. Also freezes well for lunches. You can substitute different beans for the garbanzos, such as black beans (drain and rinse), or kidneys, or pintos. This is a mild dish. Adding some chopped jalapeño peppers along with the Ro-Tel will increase the heat if you like.

How To Make susan's chicken tortilla soup

Step 1

Place water and chicken pieces in a soup pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until broth is flavorful and chicken is cooked.

Step 2

Transfer to a crock pot and add the Ro-Tel, diced onion, drained corn, all the beans and liquid, and chili powder. Cook 6 hours on low power, or 3 hours on high power.
Step 3

After cooking, if more chicken is desired, stir in 1 or two cans of canned chicken with broth. Also add in the cilantro and crushed tortilla chips. Continue to cook on low power for 30 minutes, until hot and thick.
Step 4

Stir well. Ladle into soup mugs, and top with your choice of add-ons.
