slow cooker taco pumpkin soup

Made this soup last night and it was hit with Ben and Avery. It tastes similar to other taco soups I've made, but there was just something about this recipe that made it better, and I think it had to do with the pumpkin. You cannot taste the pumpkin in the soup - at all. But it gave the soup a very creamy flavor. 

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast (I put mine in totally frozen)
  • 1 (28oz) can (or two 14oz cans) fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 (14oz) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or you could use chicken broth broth)
  • ¼ cup cilantro, roughly chopped, plus more to serve
  • 1 lime - for the lime juice

serve with tortilla chips and/or avocado chunks 

Directions 

Place all the ingredients sans cilantro and lime in the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hrs. or high for 3-4 hours. Shred the chicken and mix back in with the soup - add cilantro and lime juice. Top with avocado chunks and serve with tortilla soup.
Yummy!
