SLOW COOKER MEXICAN CHICKEN SOUP

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Soup image

I always keep certain canned goods on hand to whip up standards. You can cook chicken thighs ahead of time and add to this slow cooker Mexican soup, or you can put boneless cuts of chicken in at the beginning of the cooking time. Slightly spicy, it's a terrific 'comfort' food!
