crockpot chicken avocado lime soup



This soup has been a favorite of mine but I just tried it in the crockpot for the first time last week and I think I like it even better that way! Unfortunately, sugar is a listed ingredient on the chipotle peppers so it's not paleo or whole 30 but it's still very healthy! It's simple, cheap and very flavorful.

ingredients:
 
5 chicken breasts
1 quart chicken broth
2 chipotle peppers in abodo sauce + 1 tbl abodo sauce in the can *****
juice of 1 lemon or lime
lotsa lemon pepper seasoning
2 cans mild rotel (although Casey loves it when I use the habenaro rotel)
2 tbl minced garlic
 
optional toppings:
 
avocado
tortilla chips
rice
cilantro
 
*****Please note that this is two PEPPERS, not two CANS of peppers

Tip: I just put the rest of the can of peppers in a tuberware or ziplock and freeze it for the next time I make this soup. That way one can makes like 8 batches of soup!
 
instructions:
 
Throw all ingredients in your crockpot. No need to cut anything up. Set your crockpot on low and cook for at least 6 hours. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. It should fall apart pretty easily. Bowl up and add your toppings. Enjoy!
 
makes:
 
5-6 servings
