CROCK POT OR SLOW COOKER MEXICAN CHICKEN WHITE BEAN SOUP
Once again, more of a method than a strict recipe. Comfort food with a little kick to it. I was going to make chile and this is what evolved - we liked it even better. And don't let the dried beans throw you - put them on the stove first, bring to a boil, let sit, and assemble the other ingredients while they stand. The pre-cooking and draining removes the volatile sugars that cause gas. You may also soak the beans overnight, drain the water then add the beans to the slow cooker.

Steps:
- Cover the beans with water, bring to a boil, cover, turn off the heat and let stand one hour.
- Drain the beans and add to crock pot.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, add enough water to just cover everything. Cover the pot, turn to high and walk away.
- Cook about 5 hours on high, or longer on low, depending on your beans and how firm you like them.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks.
- Serve topped with sour cream, grated cheese and/or chopped avocado.
- Note: I also add 1-2 teaspoons of a seasoning I buy in the local Mexican market called "Sal/Chile/Limon" - you could just add lemon juice, salt and more chile powder, lemon pepper, if you like - it's not essential.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken, and a variety of spices will make your soup taste its best.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients at once, the soup will become watery and bland. Add ingredients gradually and allow them to simmer until they are tender before adding more.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be sure to taste the soup at several points during the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Let the soup rest: After it is finished cooking, allow the soup to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish of chopped cilantro, sour cream, or avocado can add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.
