*Note: Good made with Cafe Rio Chicken (not the sweet version), cooked in the crockpot (I know many of you have the recipe). Could also throw chicken in the crockpot with onions, garlic, and carrots, then cook and shred.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
8 oz. velveeta cheese (cut into small cubes)
1 can Rotel (use regular for kick, Rotel is diced tomatoes with green chiles)
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (slow cooked in crockpot, see note above)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Tortilla chips
Fresh lime
Black beans
Avocado
Directions:
1. Melt butter with flour over medium heat until it thickens and makes a roux.
2. Stir in chicken broth and milk. Turn heat to low.
3. Add cheese, rotel tomatoes, chicken, cumin, and chili powder and stir well. Leave on low until it thickens.
4. Garnish: Good with tortilla chips or strips, fresh lime (definitely recommend), black beans, and avocado.
*This is a tasty, creamy tomato soup with a little zip. I highly recommend you try it. It has great flavor.
