CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP CROCK POT RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in greased 4 1/2 to 6 quart slow cooker
• Cover and cook on low heat 6-8 hrs or on high 3-4 hrs (everyone's crockpot is different, adjust accordingly).
• Top with shredded pepper or monterey jack cheese, guacamole or sour cream.
• Serve with tortilla strips or chips, sometimes I even make cheese quesadillas.
• VARIATION- Add 1 c shredded carrots or zucchini at beginning of cook time.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers and onion; cook and stir until tender, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer pepper mixture and chicken to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Stir in broth, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, tomato paste, seasonings and, if desired, pepper sauce. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender (a thermometer should read at least 165°)., Remove chicken from slow cooker. Shred with 2 forks; return to slow cooker. Stir in cilantro. Serve with toppings as desired.
  Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little water if necessary.
