Southwestern Chicken Soup

For Ryan (and anyone else who wants to try this :)

You could play around with these ingredients. I probably never use the same ingredients twice.

-1 lb. chicken (you can use frozen or thawed)
-cup or two of frozen corn (I used mixed veggies that night we had it b/c that's what I had on hand)
-1 can of diced green chilies
-1 can of black beans (or one cup dry beans- soaked of course) I think I might have also put white northern beans in there too that night. You could also use kidney beans. The more, the merrier.
-2 tbs cumin, 1 tbs chili powder, 1 onion (or, you can just use a packet of taco seasoning)
-2 cloves garlic
-1 carton of chicken broth (or more if you want to stretch it- the night I made it for us, I used two taco seasoning packets and two cartons of chicken broth)

I just put all of this in the crock pot and let it go either on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. When it's finished, I shred the chicken with two forks.
Use sour cream and cheese for garnish
