Chicken Enchilada Soup (crockpot)

1.5 lbs shredded cooked chicken breasts or the meat off a rotisserie chicken
1can diced tomatoes
1 can 10oz red enchilada sauce
1 med. Onion, chopped
1can chopped green chilies
1clove garlic, minced
2 c. Water
1can chicken broth
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf
1 10oz. package frozen corn, or one can drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
Tortilla chips
Sour cream
Cheddar cheese

In slow cooker, combine shredded chicken, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, onion, green chilies and garlic. Add water, broth and spices. Stir in corn and black beans. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or 3-4 on high. Break up tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl, pour soup on chips then top with cheddar cheese and sour cream.

*Shelly's notes: Sometimes I get everything going in the crockpot in the morning and then put the chicken in later once I've had time to cook it or buy a rotisserie chicken. Other times I throw my chicken in the crockpot first and let it cook on high till it's done, take it out and shred it and then put all the ingredients into the crock pot for the soup. Either way, this soup is a great crockpot meal!
