Salsa Chicken and Black Bean Soup

I know I sound enthusiastic about a lot of my recipes, but I absolutely love this soup! It will make your house smell amazing as it cooks and its so hearty with the beans and the chicken. It makes a good amount, but if you have hungry guys around it will be gone in no time! If you like your soup spicy feel free to add a chopped up jalapeno or just top your bowl with hot sauce. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients -

• 1 pound chicken (I used frozen breasts)
• 1 cup dried black beans (or 2 cans, drained and rinsed)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 jar prepared salsa (16 oz)
• 1 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 cup sour cream (to stir in at the end)
• shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, cilantro (all optional)

Directions -

1. In a medium or large crockpot add black beans (on the bottom), frozen chicken, chicken broth mushrooms, corn, salsa, cumin to a crockpot. Leave on low for 8 to 10 hours
2. Aprox 1/2 way to 2/3 way through shread chicken with a fork (you will know when its ready when it falls apart. If you are making this while you are at work you can just shread the chicken at the end)
3. at 8 to 10 hours, turn the crockpot off and stir in the sour cream
4. Spoon into bowls add cheese, avocado and cilantro to the top and serve.
