Chicken Enchilada Soup
As a working mom and home keeper, it is still important to me to have a warm, healthy, homemade dinner on the table for my family each night. It can definitely be a challenge with the rush of the evenings after work! But, my crockpot is an invaluable tool when it comes to meal times. That's why I was so excited when the ladies of Living On A Dime released their new e-book, Easy Crockpot Recipes and Menus!
This Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe was an absolute winner and a must try!
Chicken Enchilada Soup
from Easy Crockpot Recipes and Menus
by Jill Cooper
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1-15 oz. can of black beans, drained
1-14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, including juice
1-14 oz. can of chicken broth
1-10 oz. can of enchilada sauce {I made my own using the recipe from Dining On A Dime}
1-4 oz. can of diced green chiles
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. of black pepper {I omitted both}
{These following are listed as optional spices, but I added them all in!}
2 bay leaves3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
{I also added in local, organically grown zucchini and yellow squash (diced) from the farmer's market. Add 1-2 cups additional broth if adding veggies.}
Place chicken in a slow cooker first and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 6 hours {I cooked this on high for 4 hours}. Transfer the chicken to a large plate and shred the meat with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cook and continue cooking for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
To serve, place in a bowl and top with crushed corn chips, tortilla chips, sour cream or cheese. You could also add a scoop of cooked rice to the bowl first.
You'll find this and other recipes in the new e-book, Easy Crockpot Recipe and Menus. Today is the last day to pick up a copy of the e-book for 40% off!
