Mexican Chicken Soup Ingredients

- chicken broth
- beans: canned kidney, pinto or black beans
How To Make Crock Pot Mexican Chicken Soup
Crock Pot Mexican Chicken soup starts with boneless skinless chicken breasts but you could use boneless chicken thighs if that is what you have on hand.
I prefer to use skinless chicken when I make my crock pot soup recipes because even though the skin will add flavor it will also add fat.
The chicken fat will float to the top of the soup. It is a hassle to scoop the chicken fat from the top of the soup broth so using skinless chicken to start with will prevent the extra work.
Sweet corn kernels, whole tomatoes, sliced sweet bell peppers, minced garlic, and onions are simple basic ingredients that made a delicious soup.
I added a can of kidney beans for flavor and the added protein. You can use black beans or even canned pinto beans if that is what you have one hand.
