Slow Cooking Thursday

When Fall comes and the temperatures drop, I find I change the way I cook. Instead of the lighter fare of summer; warm foods like soups and stews are a mainstay. Today's recipe is an easy soup that is good on a cool day.


Mexican Chicken Soup

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2" pieces

2 cans cream of chicken soup

2 cups water

1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes and green chile peppers, undrained

1 teaspoon ground cumin

sour cream (optional)

crushed tortilla chips (optional)


Brown chicken in skillet coated with cooking spray and transfer to slow cooker. In a bowl combine soup, water, beans, undrained tomatoes, and cumin. Pour over chicken in slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. Ladle into bowls and if desired, top with sour cream and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips.

I don't think I've ever had this. I'm really starting to wonder if you started cooking all these good meals after I left! :) Not that your meals weren't always good - well, except for Happy Casserole!

Mari, I love your Slow Cooking Thursdays! I made Zesty Swiss Steak the other day and Steve loved it. The kids ate it all up too. Easy is cool!

Is this one of those recipes we could freeze and split up? It might work.
