The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

• 1 (46 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie from the deli)
• 2 anaheim chilies, diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 -4 large tomatoes, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (I use the chipotle flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional)
• Garnish
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro, pulled from stem
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 2 cups crushed tortilla chips

1. Throw everything except the garnishes in your crock pot and let it cook on high for 5-6 hours.
2. Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of lime (a must:-) and you're good to go!
3. Enjoy!
4. If you are not using a crock pot, saute the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients.
5. Simmer for at least an hour so that the flavors mix together.
