Chicken Tortilla Soup
August 29, 2019
I know how it is to get into a rut with cooking. Sometimes we just need someone to share a great recipe with us. It's a family favorite, and it's easy. It's Chicken Tortilla Soup from the Fix-It and Forget It Cookbook (Good Publishers) and it's done in your crockpot!Ingredients:4 chicken breast halves (cook, debone & shred chicken)1 garlic clove, minced,2 Tbsp. butter,2 14 1/2 oz cans of chicken broth,2 14 oz cans chopped stewed tomatoes,1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot),1/2 cup chopped cilantro,1 Tbsp or more of ground cumin.Melt the butter and add the minced garlic to it. Combine all the other ingredients in a slow cooker THEN add the sautéed garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.Then shred or cube 8 oz of Monterey jack cheese - put this in your soup bowls. Ladle your soup over the cheese THEN sprinkle tortilla chips on the top and add a dollop of sour cream.IT'S that easy and very yummy. I always double the recipe. It's great the first day and even better the second. And it freezes well— Enjoy! Let me know how you like it!
