Preparación

1. 1

   --- Stovetop Instructions ---

2. 2

   Mist a large pot with cooking spray (or add olive oil). Add the onions, celery, carrots, bell pepper, spices and seasonings and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, for 5-10 minutes. Add a splash of stock if the pot gets too dry.

3. 3

   Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the cream and use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup (or you can blend it until completely smooth). This will thicken the soup.

5. 5

   Add the beans, corn and chicken. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.

6. 6

   Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper, if needed. Serve topped with your favorite toppings.

   Sauté the vegetables and seasonings for five minutes in your slow cooker (if it allows for searing) or in a pot.

9. 9

   Transfer to slow cooker and add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth.

10. 10

    Stir to combine cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours. (If you are using fresh chicken then add it now, remove and shred it before blending soup.)

11. 11

    Stir in the cream and blend the soup using a stick blender.

12. 12

    Add the beans, corn, shredded chicken and cook for a further hour on high or until heated through. Check the seasoning and serve with your favourite toppings.
