TOPPINGS

Directions

1. Put out a 4-6 quart slow cooker
2. Using a can opener, open the can of black beans. Pour beans into a colander and rinse under cold, running water for 15 seconds. Shake off any excess water and pour beans into slow cooker.
3. Open the cans of tomatoes, corn, and green chiles. Pour cans and all of their contents (liquid) into the slow cooker.
4. Measure salsa and taco seasoning and add into slow cooker. Stir until everything in the slow cooker is completely mixed.
5. Using tongs, add the chicken breast to the slow cooker and push down so it is covered by the other ingredients.
6. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours or on low heat for 6-7 hours.
7. Take chicken out of the soup and place on a cutting board. Using two forks, pull the chicken into small pieces. Add back to the slow cooker.
8. In a medium bowl, add milk and corn starch, using a whisk mix together until there are no lumps. Stir into the hot soup until it is completely combined.
9. Taste the soup. If needed, add salt and pepper.
10. Prepare desired toppings for soup.  Serve soup with the toppings you like
