Crock Pot Girls

[gja1000]

I made my crock pot soup tonight so here's what I did (don't really have a recipe, per se, and you could put most anything in this soup and I think it would be good).

I love green chilies, so I used lots of things that are green chili based, but you could use any kind of salsa or base.

1 chicken breast (boneless) (you could use more if you like more chicken in your soup)
1 jar of Hatch green chili salsa (could use any kind of salsa, amount doesn't matter)
1 can of green enchilada sauce (could use red sauce)
2 cans of green chilies (4 oz size)
I put water in the cans and rinse the stuff off the sides and throw the water in the crockpot -you could also throw in a packet of taco seasoning if you want - anything to give the chicken breast a "Mexican" flavor.

Cook the chicken breast 4 hours on high or longer on low
When chicken is cooked, I shred it and put in a small can of corn and a package of ready to eat creamy poblano corn soup. You could put in any kind of soup - cream of chicken, cream of jalapeño, or any kind of pre-made cream soup, to give it some thickness. Or you could just thicken the stock with masa, or anything to give it a thicker consistency. Tonight I made boiled potatoes for supper so I made a few extra and cut them up and put the leftover boiled potatoes in the soup too.

Then I just turn the crock pot on high and heat everything and it is ready to eat. Sometimes I crunch up some tortilla chips and put them in the soup - sometimes I just eat it without anything extra. You could put some shredded cheese on top. Be creative. It gets better with age and I will take it for my lunch this week.
