Short and Sweet Weekend Recap

Good Monday morrow to you all.  I hopeth thee hath much tomfoolery to reminisce upon from thine weekend.  (Damn that would be exhausting to talk like that all of the time.)   We've had biblical rain all week and weekend so road tripping would've been out of the question.  No one wants to drive on slick roads for hours so we were stuck at home.  I am pretty sure unless it's for pizza, we're done eating out for a while.  I got so ticked trying to order from a new place and all of the hoops they wanted you to jump through that I said screw it and the Mr was ticked too and said they were shysters.  ($42 for what equates to Chinese takeout "bowl".  Nope.)   Then he mentioned a BBQ place and I was resistant because BBQ always makes me sick, without question.  I relented because we'd spent 20 minutes trying to find a place by that time and were both getting irritated.  Not like we spent less than we would have if we'd gone to th...

Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

We are heading into soup season, and since we're diving into all things hygge, soups are definitely part of it.   I've been trying to dig us out of a food rut since we got back from New England, and this was one of the recipes that helped.



I found the original recipe on Delish.com and tweaked it a bit to our tastes and dietary preferences.  The fact that it's a crockpot recipe makes it that much better.  Who doesn't want to come home from work, especially this time of year, and have dinner made?  Better yet, since I'm posting this the day before Thanksgiving, this is the perfect way to use any turkey leftovers!

Here's what you'll need for my version.

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup (adapted from Delish.com)

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts (or leftover turkey)

1 15-oz. no salt added can black beans, rinsed

1 cup frozen corn

2 red peppers, chopped

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 15-oz. can Rotel chipotle diced tomatoes

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp. cumin

1 tbsp. chili powder

1 tsp chipotle pepper, ground

1 tsp liquid smoke

1/2 tsp. sea salt

4 cups chicken bone broth

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

4 small corn tortillas, cut into strips

Scallions, for garnish

Taco sauce, for garnish

(Optional) Cilantro, for garnish

***

In a large slow cooker, add all ingredients except for cheese, tortillas, scallions, and taco sauce.

Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked and falling apart (around 5 to 6 hours), then shred chicken with a fork.

Make the tortilla crisps by heating your oven to 425 degrees, cut 4 small corn tortillas into strips and bake until crispy.

Ladle soup into bowl, add tortilla strips and top with pepper jack cheese allowing to melt.

Garnish with taco sauce and chopped scallions.



I'm sure you're going to love it as much as we did.  It's even better the next day!

  1. This is SO good! I was blown away by it and you're right, it's even better the next day. Leftover turkey would be perfect for this too and it is so nice and filling, it's perfect for this time of year.

  3. I absolutely LOVE chicken tortilla soup! I seek it out when I can in restaurants. This recipe looks fantastic and I've already added it to my recipe box. I can totally see it tasting better the second day, too. My crock pot is in use throughout the year, but definitely more so right about now. Yum!
