crockpot cookin' - Mexican Style Chicken Tortilla Soup

 Delicious!

Last week, I followed this recipe for chicken tortilla soup in the crockpot and it was amazing. You throw all of the ingredients in the crockpot (think tomatoes/rotel, kidney beans, black beans, corn, onions, fresh cilantro, chicken, broth, water, cumin, chili powder and garlic powder) and just let it cook. I did use fresh cilantro instead of dried because in my experiences making homemade salsa with a lot of these same ingredients, the fresh cilantro is so tasty.

 I let mine cook for almost 10 hours on low and when it was done, I took the pieces of chicken out and just pulled them apart with a fork. It was so tender and shredded without a problem.

I'd recommend topping it with Mexican style shredded cheese and dipping it out like chili with tortilla chips. That's the best way. 

So, what's for dinner this week?
ps - how do like the photography? I'm practicing :)
