• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Drain corn.

• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together cornstarch, tomato paste, stock concentrates, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 8 servings). Microwave until thickened, 30-40 seconds.

• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Season all over with salt and pepper. • In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker (8-quart slow cooker for 8 servings), combine chicken with Tex-Mex paste, onion, corn, crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, cornstarch mixture, and 3 cups water (6 cups for 8); stir until well combined. TIP: If the chicken pieces are sticking together, make sure to separate them. • Cover and cook on high until chicken is tender and cooked through, 4 hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

• Once soup is ready to serve, roughly chop cilantro and lightly crush tortilla chips in bag. • Serve tortilla soup family style, with cilantro, tortilla chips, sour cream, and Mexican cheese blend in separate bowls. Let everyone add their own toppings! ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
