1 medium white onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed
1 (15-oz.) can fire-roasted tomatoes with juice
4 ounce can green chilies (mild)
3 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken broth

2 tsps cumin
2 tsps chili powder
2 tsps smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
2 fresh limes, juiced (juice of 2 large fresh limes)
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste about 1/2 teaspoon each
1 cup frozen organic corn
Topping ideas:
a small bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced avocado, fresh lime cut into wedges, to garnish chopped green onions
Homemade Tortilla Strips:
1 Tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
3 small organic corn or sprouted tortillas, cut into strips (I used a pizza slicer!)
sea salt to taste
Slow Cooker Instructions:
Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute another 3 minutes.
In a large slow cooker add all the soup ingredients.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. (I prefer LOW setting)
Once cooked, take the chicken out and shred chicken with a fork, then return it to the soup.
Instant Pot Instructions:
Set the Instant pot to the saute function. Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute another 3 minutes.
Add the remaining soup ingredients besides the corn.
Give everything a good stir, and set your Instant pot to pressure cook on high. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. Manually let pressure out, covering steam with a kitchen towel. (Or allow pressure release naturally.)
Shred chicken with two forks and return it to your pot. Add corn, and return to saute setting for a few minutes just to heat through.
Stockpot Instructions:
Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute anoth
