Chicken, chiles, beans, tomatoes and Mexican spices combine to make one of our favorite soups. This soup is full of great flavors with a good bit of heat from the green chile and spices.
This soup is easily made on the stove-top or in the crock-pot. I’ve included directions for both methods.
FREEZER MEAL: This soup freezes well. It is a frequent lunch request from my husband and my oldest son. I portion the soup into two cup containers and I then have lunches ready to go for both of them whenever the need arises.
