Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
6 cups chicken broth
16 ounces frozen corn -- (1 bag)
14 ounces salsa verde -- (1 jar) [go for mild, you can always add more heat at the table]
1 tablespoon ground cumin
6 tablespoons sour cream -- to add before serving
To garnish: -- crushed tortilla chips, avocado slices, and cilantro
Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
Place the chicken into the bottom of your slow cooker insert. Stir in the chicken broth, corn, salsa verde, and cumin.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for about 4 hours.
Shred the chicken using two large forks before serving.
Ladle into bowls with a dollop of sour cream in each bowl, and top with crushed tortilla chips, avocado, and cilantro, if you'd like.
Serves 6 to 8
AuthorNote: This recipe comes from Sara W., who adapted Rachel Ray's Mean Green Tortilla Soup to work in the slow cooker. We both decided to use the salsa verde instead of blending tomatillos (which can be quite expensive in some areas), and the result is fantastic. Sara likes the "tequila lime" salsa verde - yum!
