Ingredients of Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup

It’s 3 pounds of bone-in chicken pieces (I like dark meat - more flavor. :) ).
Prepare 6 cups of water.
You need 1 of small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces.
It’s 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and lightly crushed.
It’s 2 of medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces (I like to cut them big for slow cooking so they don't disintegrate and still retain some texture).
You need 1 of medium bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (I happened to use the Hatch chilies I roasted the other day, but they're seasonal and sometimes hard to come by even when they're in season).
It’s 1 of large stem celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
It’s 1 (15 oz.) of can black beans, rinsed and drained (optional - I don't always care for beans in this soup - but add a 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the recipe if you add the beans).
It’s 1/2 of a 15 oz. can of corn (or 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels).
Prepare 1/2 of a 15 oz. can of tomatoes.
You need 1/2-1 teaspoon of cumin.
You need 1-2 teaspoons of dried oregano.
You need 2 of bay leaves.
It’s 3-3.5 teaspoons of kosher salt to start.
You need 1-1.5 Tablespoons of fresh squeezed lime juice.
You need 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (optional for the cilantro haters, of course).
It’s 1 teaspoon of fish sauce (optional, but recommended).
You need of optional garnish: fried tortilla chips or strips, chopped fresh chilies, onions, cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges.

This gave us the full robust flavor and complexity we were.

Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup step by step

Dump all but garnish ingredients into your slow cooker and give it a few good stirs..
Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or high for 5 to 7, depending on how hot your slow cooker gets..
Its always nice if you can give the soup a few gentle stirs throughout the cooking process, but if you can't manage that because you're out of the house, then you can give it a stir and adjust the seasoning as necessary as soon as you get home. This will give the soup some time to more evenly and thoroughly absorb flavor before you sit down to enjoy it..
I like it with a little steamed rice, some chopped onions and cilantro on top, a good extra squeeze of lime, and a few lashings of Tapatío. :)

Enjoy!.
