Add the pepper and onion mix, chicken breasts, fire-roasted tomatoes, Ro-Tel style tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and chipotle powder in a slow cooker bowl.
Top with chicken stock.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.
After 6 hours, remove the chicken and shred on a plate with 2 forks.
Return to pot, stir well to combine.
If using cream cheese, remove 1 cup of the hot broth and place it in a blender with the cream cheese.
Blend until smooth, then stir into the crockpot.
Serve with a squirt of lime and top with whatever toppings you'd like.
Notes
If you prefer, you can leave out the cream cheese and still have a delicious soup. This is one of those recipes that you can add in even more things you like. For, example, adding corn, black beans or even topping with tortilla strips would be delicious. Feel free to make this your own. This is a great recipe for a large family.
