Pillsbury Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
"My Youngest Daughter knows how I love recipe books and brought me home this smallish paperback Pillsbury Slow-Cooker Recipe Book where I found this recipe. It is easy peasy, the fragrance whilst it cooked made the house smell so amazing, and the flavor was so very delicous. I have found myself a new comfort food!!! The recipe suggests for a nutricious option adding a thinly sliced zucchini to the soup ingredients. It also states 4 servings, but I found that we had leftovers with four servings which I am NOT complaining about."

EXCELLENT soup!!! I must note that I prepared this on the stovetop by sauteing chopped onion and chopped fresh garlic in a bit of olive oil and adding in all the spices. I then added in the rest of the ingredients, brought to a boil and then back down to simmer for about 15 minutes. For the chicken, I used cooked rotisserie. GREAT flavor! Just the right amount of spice. Perfect thickness because of the corn tortilla strips that melted into the soup. We crumbled tortilla chips over the top. Yummy!! -
Making this recipe for 4, I used 3 chicken breasts (mine were LARGE, & the 3 alone came in at a little over 20 ounces! Also cut the chili powder back to 2 teaspoons (didn't want it too strong)! That done, we still had a great tasting soup, & with enough left over for part of a lunch for 2 of us! the next day! I'm happy keeping this recipe around, for sure!

I made this soup for my DD and she liked it a lot. I used dried minced onion but other than that followed the recipe. A nice soup that had a bit of spicy flavor and tender bites of chicken. Added the corn tortillas and they cooked down into the broth and made it look a little creamy. A dollop of sour cream and/or guacamole would be yummy. This does make quite a lot more than 4 servings. :) Made and reviewed for KK's Recipe Tag Game.

I Love to cook good food, but Italian is one of my specialties. Baking is my fun...pies, cookies, and making candy. Don't do cakes, nobody here eats them. But make a cheesecake and it disappears.
Gardening is a hobby, and love to run out and pick fresh vege's and herbs to add to my meals. Besides my dogs, cats, fish, 3 goats, I have a really good collection of chickens, and the ladies present me with a steady supply of fresh eggs, and fertilizer for the garden. Food preservation and storage is a passion.
