This soup is one of my favorite creations. It has a true Southwestern flavor. I used to make it a lot spicier but now I have kids and cut the chilies back.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It's so convenient to be able to just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.
