I am really into soups right now.  With a polar vortex coming our way, I only see more in our future!  I made this last weekend and have been enjoying it for lunches all week.  I can’t tell you how much I love the crock pot and I can’t tell you how easy this recipe is.  I got everything ready and we were able to enjoy the last of these beautiful fall days.  To my kids dismay, I can’t get enough hiking in this time of year.  I want to enjoy every last minute until we are forced inside with the cold weather.  But here’s how to get this soup going!

Ingredients:

1-1.5 lbs of boneless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, diced

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

4 cups of chicken stock

1 small can of green chilies

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tablespoon of dried cilantro, or fresh if you have it

1 jalapeno (optional)

3 cans of white beans, drained and rinced

salt and peper

Plain Greek yogurt (optional)

fresh lime (optional)

Place all of the ingredients in the slow cooker, except the beans.  Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.  Put in the white beans for the last hour. Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lime.  I love to add fresh lime to soups and dishes, it really freshens it up.  And put some in your water too. It makes it feel like you are eating something special 🙂 Enjoy!
