How to Make Southwestern Chicken And Bean Soup Crock Pot

In your crock-pot, combine the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), corn, black beans, kidney beans, and chili powder.
Add the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste). Stir well to combine.
If using fresh chicken, add the cooked and diced chicken breast now. If using canned chicken, add it once the soup has heated through.
Stir in the diced green chilies (adjust to your spice preference; remove seeds for milder heat).
If using ground beef or turkey, brown it in a skillet before adding it to the crock-pot along with the other ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the flavors have melded and the soup has thickened slightly.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more chili powder, cumin, or salt to your preference. If using fresh ingredients, you may want to add a squeeze of lime for extra freshness and brightness.
Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or cilantro before serving.
