This Mexican-inspired chicken soup practically cooks itself. Just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and go. When you return, you'll have a rich, spicy soup that's sure to warm you up on a chilly day. To thicken the soup, add crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese. For a Mexican twist, top your serving with sour cream, lime, or diced fresh avocado. And to keep the soup from being too spicy, remove the membranes and seeds from the jalapeños before adding them to the pot.
