Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup!

You have got to try this recipe. I threw it together on a sunday night, using only the things I had in the pantry.

4 chicken breasts(frozen)
2 cans chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken
1 small diced onion
diced-half green pepper
diced jalapeno slices(jarred)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn
few shakes of cumin
Throw all ingredients in the crock pot. You can dice or shred the chicken. You may want to add the corn till about 30-45 minutes before the soup is ready, so that it's not too soft. If it looks too liquidy for you; add 1 pack of chicken gravy(I did). Takes about 5hours of cook time on high setting, with frozen chicken. I prepared my bowl by spooning a dollop of sour cream in the bowl, covering with soup and topped with cheese and crunched tortilla chips. Enjoy! :)

Welcome to my blog!


First blog, first post! I am hoping to blog about my love of cooking and my life with my children.  I'm not quite sure what it will involve at this point, but I know I will be sharing recipes, creative ways to spend time with children, and the rest I will make up along the way.  If you have any tips or suggestions, I would appreciate your comments.  Conversations about parenting and cooking will be welcome here so please share.
