Chicken Tortilla Soup, Crock Pot Style!

I've made it clear. I leave the cooking to my husband. Put the aces in their places*, I always say. Today, since it is my "day off" (laughable, really) I am going to try a new recipe. Here it is.
I guess I'll have to report back later on how it turns out. I suppose I could have just waited to give a complete report, but I started feeling like this part of my blog was a little redheaded-stepchildish. 
If you are looking for dinner inspiration and you want to avoid the time suck of Pinterest, (I love it, but there are a lot of rabbit trails there) try AllRecipes.com. That's where I often turn for new recipes or to find old favorites.

Stay tuned for my rating later!

I LOVED this soup and more importantly, my husband the cook did as well! As with most recipes, I pretty much used this one as ingredients shopping list and implemented a few of my own slight changes. I can't really give you quantities, but I can say that whatever the recipe called for, I added a little more. We are kinda flavor junkies around here, so there is seldom a bland dish served. Here is my recipe (sort of).

• 1 pkg. more than 1 lb, but not exactly sure on total weight, Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (this time, but I'd use chicken breasts too)
• These also started out frozen at 11 am when I started the soup and were done and ready for shredding by 2:30)
• 2 cans Red Gold Tomatoes, (1 Cilantro Lime, 1 "hot" with green chilies)
• 1 can medium (hotness) enchilada sauce
• 1 med onion, chopped
• I omitted green chilies because I forgot them at the store, but they were in one can of the tomatoes
• 2 heaping tsp on minced garlic
• 4 cups water + 2 chicken bouillon cubes (instead of buying broth)
• 2 heaping tsp cumin
• 2 heaping tsp chili powder
• a little black pepper
• 12 oz frozen corn
• LOTS of cilantro

There you have it. Not a fancy recipe post, but if you want to try something new, try this.

Oh, yeah. I made these too. With my favorite whole wheat wraps and sea salt.

*Interested in an explanation of this phrase? I learned it while working in a restaurant. It means, put people in the position where they are strongest and will perform the best. The best server gets the best section. The best cook in the house cooks the majority of the meals. Get it?
