    6 Tablespoons Ortego Taco Seasoning Mix

Tips

You could reduce the sodium by using more fresh ingredients (such as the beans and diced tomatoes). If you choose to serve without the yogurt, you can save 170 calories but reduce your protein by 22 grams and by skipping the cheese, you can save 4 calories but you will lose 52 grams of protein.


Directions

Saute carrots, celery and onions in a small amount of olive oil. Combined sauteed vegetables and all other ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on low. Don't try to hurry the process - this soup needs time to bring out all the flavors. Layer by placing the FROZEN chicken on the bottom of the pot followed by all remaining ingredients - do not drain any of the cans.

When chicken is done, pull it out of the slow cooker and shred using two forks and pulling in opposite directions. Add chicken back to slow cooker and allow to simmer 30 more minutes.

Serve topped with Greek Yogurt and shredded cheese.
