Default Chicken Tortilla Soup

I make this in the crockpot. It's an easy, non-measuring recipe so you'll need to adjust for your situation. It freezes great!

Swansons Chicken broth in the box (maybe 2) My fav restaurant serves this brothy, not too thick.
Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (green label) (use 2 if you like spicy hot or use 1 mild)
canned black beans, drained
canned yellow corn or Mexicorn, drained
diced onion
shredded cooked chicken breasts (I poach mine about 25-30 minutes)
lots of oregano, either dried or fresh snipped
several dashes dried garlic
couple shakes cumin
salt and pepper

Let cook on high in the crockpot for about 3 hours.
Serve topped with white shredded cheese, avocado slices, tortilla strips (Lays and Mission have strips), and a fresh lime wedge.

Don't forget the Corona and lime!!
Wonderful!
