1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.

    Add the Vegetables and Beans: Pour in the black beans, kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with their juices.

      Season the Soup: Sprinkle the taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder (if using), and generously season with salt and pepper over the top.

        Add Aromatics: Spread the chopped onion and minced garlic evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

          Pour in the Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth over everything in the slow cooker.

            Mix Together: Give everything a gentle stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is well-coated with the spices.

              Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

                Shred the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir to incorporate.

                  Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
