Introduction
This is a yummy recipe my mom had forever in an old recipe box (I don't remember who else it came from). Its a good one that you can start preparing the night before, throw it all together in the morning, and finish when you get home from work. Filling and delicious on its own, and low on calories (as long as you watch the amount of extras you put with it!). Prep time is about 30 minutes, cook time is 7-8 hours on low heat.

Ingredients
-
--3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
--1 large onion, finely chopped
--1 heaping tsp. minced garlic
--6-7 medium tomatoes, chopped (or 2 cans tomato sauce)
--2 cans reduced sodium chicken broth
--1/4 tsp. pepper
--1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
--1 fresh jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
--1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
**Extras (these are not tallied in the nutrition information, completely optional):
--8-12 corn tortillas, cut into 1/4" strips
--Borden Reduced Fat four blend mexican shredded cheese
Directions
--Try to keep the chicken partially frozen to make for easier cutting of the breasts (it will make cooking of the meat more uniform in the pot).
--Chop all ingredients as needed. You can save the cilantro for chopping later or put it in a tupperware bowl to keep for a few hours.
--Put chicken, onion, garlic, tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and green chile in crockpot. Cover, cook on low 7-8 hours.
--Puree contents of pot and return them to crockpot to keep soup hot. Add chopped cilantro to the crockpot.
**If you want low salt Tortilla chips, take the tortilla strips and put them on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until crunchy.
--Serve soup with tortilla strips or chips, shredded cheese, or whatever else tickles your fancy.
Makes 6 bowls of soup.
