Combine in a slow cooker onion, garlic, jalapenos, chipotle powder, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add chicken, broth, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Portion rice among bowls and cover with soup. Top with avocado, zest and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!

Soup assembly line!

Served with toast and some awesome locally made raspberry jalapeno jam.

My Rating: 4/5 "I've never had anything that tasted like this before, and I was a fan! It's not as hot-spicy as I thought it was going to be, even with two jalapenos, but it was a really interesting kind of savory-spicy. Good healthy stuff in there, too."
