Aaron's Award winning Chipolte Chicken Chili

First of all, I have to say that I am copying Aaron's handwritten recipe.....so hopefully I will be able to decipher all the steps/ingredients. Here it is.....

Makes 8 servings

1 1/2 -2 lbs chicken (ground or shredded) Aaron used 1 lb ground chicken and 1/2 to 3/4 lb of a rotisserie chicken
4 Tbsp Chili powder
2 tsp Cumin (ground)
2 cans diced tomatoes (14.5 oz each) Aaron used the ones that come with green peppers
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp Tobasco chipolte sause to taste
2 cans (15 oz each) black beans rinsed & drained (Aaron used 1 black bean and 1 tri-bean blend)
1 can drained whole kernel yellow corn (save juice, Aaron used 1/2 for more liquid)
*1/2 Tbsp chopped garlic
*1/3 cup ranch dressing
*1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

*Aaron's own additions to the original recipe

1. Cook chicken in oil and half cumin & chili powder.
2. Mix everything else together (on stove or in crockpot) Bring to simmer. Add corn juice for more liquidy soup.

Hope you enjoy it!!
