Margaret's Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Adam I have resumed our 'dinner and a movie' nights! We tried this recipe from Adam's aunt Margaret last night. (FWIW, she says that it's from allrecipes.com, but it will be under her name in my recipe box!) Ours turned out as more of a chili than a soup, which actually was perfect for us. Oh and yeah, it was really good!

1 onion, chopped
1 (16 oz) can chili beans
1 (15 oz) can black beans
1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (12 fl oz) can or bottle beer (used a can of chicken broth)
2 (10 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (1.25 oz) packet taco seasonings

3 – whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
Shredded Cheddar cheese, Sour cream & Crushed Tortilla chips

A) Place first 8 items in slow cooker, stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts
on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other
ingredients. Keep covered & cook at LOW heat, 5 hours.

B) Remove chicken, allow to cool slightly. Using a fork, pull chicken
apart, into small shreds. Return shredded chicken to slow cooker for
at least another 2 hours.

Serve, topped with a dollop of sour cream, cheddar choose and crushed
tortilla chips. Enjoy!

What makes this recipe even better is that the chicken can be frozen - no thawing needed. I don't know why, but I hate thawing meat... so this is just perfect!!

The movie last night was Knocked Up. We got a rather late start so we'll finish the movie tonight, but so far it's actually an ok movie.
