WW Southwestern Chicken Soup image

Warm, and filling chicken soup with all the flavors we love, I've written the recipe as posted, but made it simpler by just browning the chicken breast whole, putting everything in the crockpot, and cooking on low for about 6 hours, then shredding the chicken just before serving - EASY peasy and delicious, from the Weight Watchers site and only 3 Smart Points perserving

This soup is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
