RECIPE: Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Comments (1)I love soup too! Here is a variation of the one you posted above. I made it just the other day and it was awesome. I will definitely try yours next. Alexa Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Place in crockpot 2 or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. Without draining anything, combine in bowl: 2 (15oz) cans black beans 1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce 2 (15 oz) cans Mexican stewed tomatoes (or Rotel) 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies 1 cup salsa, your preference as to strength Pour over chicken and cook on low 8 hours. Just before serving, remove chicken, shred it, and stir it back into the soup. Stir in: 1 can Niblets corn Heat just long enough to get corn and chicken hot. Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. Or put the chips in the bowl first and ladle soup on top. Either way, YUMMY and so easy!...See MoreLOOKING for: Max & Erma's tortilla soup
Comments (3)This is from Recipelink (I haven't tried it): SUE'S VERSION OF MAX & ERMA'S CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP In a large stockpot combine and whisk together until smooth: 2 cans each of the following Campbell soups: cream of mushroom, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and cheddar cheese soup. 2 cans (15 oz each) chicken broth Add: 1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes 1 cup Pace brand medium salsa 1 (4.5 oz) can Ortega green chiles 1 medium onion, chopped 1/4 cup fresh,chopped cilantro 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 tsp. red chile powder, more or less to your taste salt and pepper to your taste Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add: 4 cooked chicken breasts, cut into small chunks Simmer another hour.

Comments (7)Since I had lessons from Bubbe ( Renee A) I do it this way. Like Ginger...a whole chicken cut up plus about 2 pounds more of wings. Place in a stock pot, add a quart of chicken broth and enough water to cover the chicken by 2 inches. Add 2 slalks celery in half ( I could copy and past ginger here!) Large onion, cut in quarters but unpeeled...there is a flavor in the skins. 2 carrots, washed 1 large or 2 small parsnips A sweet potato, washed and cut in half. A generous handful of fresh parsley...I don't bother to chop. 1 Tsp salt 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, whole 1 tsp of whole pepper corns Bring to a boil, skim the foam, turn the heat down to a bare simmer and simmer for an hour. Remove the breast, legs and thighs of the chicken, remove the skin and refrigerate Continue to cook the rest in the pot at a very slow simmer....very slow for at least another 2 hours, 3 is better. Strain the broth through through a couple of layers of cheese cloth....pressing hard on the solids.....and discard the bones, skin, mushy veggies etc. Chill the broth enough to remove the layer of fat that rises to the top, and return the broth to the soup pot. You should have 2 quarts of broth....if you wish you can add a couple more cups of canned broth at this point. Heat the broth and add about 2 cups sliced celery one large onion chopped ( or 2 small) about 2/4 pound of carrots peeled and cut into buttons, 2 or 3 parsnips peeled and cut in 1/4th length-wise and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. taste and add salt as needed ( you will need to add probably a scant teaspoonful) Cut up some of the reserved chicken to add to the soup....all of it if you like a meaty soup and serve with a crusty loaf of bread. I don't put noodles in my chicken soup. Or this is a bit different: Called Gypsy Stew...but I make a few alterations...in parenthesis. Gypsy Stew..Pink Adobe, Santa Fe 1 large frying chicken cut into pieces 3 yellow onions peeled and quartered 8 cloves garlic, peeled and halved ( I chop!) 2 cups dry sherry 1 cup chicken stock ( I use 2 10 oz cans....low fat, low salt, no MSG broth) 12 medium hot chilis like poblano, roasted, peeled and seeded (or use canned)( I use 2 small 6 oz cans of chopped green chilic, drained) 6 large ripe tomatoesÂ(Again I use whole canned plum tomatoes if I don't have garden freshÂ.cut in 4thsÂpull apart using 2 forks and add the juice in the can to the pot) Salt to taste and ½ pound grated jack cheese Put chicken, onions, garlic 1 cup of sherry and the broth in a large heavy kettle ( add more broth to cover if neededÂ..simmer one hourÂ.cool somewhat and remove skin and bonesÂ.I also cool the pan juices somewhat and skim the fat.. Put chicken tomatoes, chilis and rest of the sherry back in the pot and simmer about 45 minutes. To serveÂplace cheese cubes in the bottom of bowl and ladle hot soup over the top. Good made ahead and reheated. Linda C...See MoreLOOKING for: recipes for the chicken after you've made the soup
Comments (11)i can't believe i chopped off the original poster's name and i apologize for that--i think it belongs to "dances in garden". if not, please step forward and correct me! but this was a good dish that was kind of fun to prepare and eat: Barbecued Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps 2 cups, 4 handfuls, fresh shiitake mushrooms 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 pounds thin cut chicken breast or chicken tenders 2 tablespoons light colored oil, such as vegetable oil or peanut oil Coarse salt and coarse black pepper 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 inch ginger root, finely chopped or grated, optional 1 orange, zested 1/2 red bell pepper, diced small 1 small tin, 6 to 8 ounces, sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped 3 scallions, chopped 3 tablespoons hoisin, Chinese barbecue sauce, available on Asian foods aisle of market 1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, core removed, head quartered Wedges of navel orange -- platter garnish Remove tough stems from mushrooms and brush with damp towel to clean, Slice mushrooms. Chop chicken into small pieces. Preheat a large skillet or wok to high. Add oil to hot pan. Add chicken to the pan and sear meat by stir frying a minute or 2. Add mushrooms and cook another minute or two. Add salt and pepper to season, then garlic and ginger. Cook a minute more. Grate zest into pan, add bell pepper bits, chopped water chestnuts and scallions. Cook another minute, continuing to stir fry mixture. Add hoisin Chinese barbecue sauce and toss to coat the mixture evenly. Transfer the hot chopped barbecued chicken to serving platter and pile the quartered wedges of crisp iceberg lettuce along side. Add wedged oranges to platter to garnish. To eat, pile spoonfuls into lettuce leaves, wrapping lettuce around fillings and squeeze an orange wedge over. I was trying to replicate my favorite lettuce wraps from PF Chang's, so I changed a few things. I used ground turkey instead of chicken tenders, skipped the orange, added more complexity to the sauce, and had cilantro, basil and lime wedges on the plate for people to add to the wraps. This is what I added to the hoisin sauce: 5 tsp sweet chili sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 TBSP sherry, 2 TBSP rice vinegar, 3 TBSP oyster sauce, and juice from half a lime. I think this made them much tastier. They were unbelievably delicious!! A keeper for company. i really enjoyed this but my husband didn't so i've only made it once. i certainly would be happy to make it for lunch with the girlfriends though! Braised Greek Chicken and Artichokes 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones 2 6-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained 2 tablespoons marinade reserved 3/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and sautchicken until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons reserved marinade, broth, lemon juice, peel, and crushed pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until chicken is almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Uncover; stir in artichokes and 2 tablespoons oregano. Simmer until liquid is slightly reduced and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon oregano. Season with salt and pepper; serve. Makes 4 servings. Bon Appétit December 2001 and we both liked this one really well: ORANGE HONEY-BAKED CHICKEN -- Daisy 1 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange rind 1/2 teaspoon ginger 4 boned chicken breast fillets (about 500g) 2 tablespoons orange marmalade (1/8 tsp red pepper flakes) (2 T peanut butter added into the sauce to be reduced) Preheat oven to 200C. In baking dish, mix together orange juice, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, orange peel and ginger. Add chicken pieces, turning to coat all sides. If time permits, let chicken marinate for 10 minutes. Bake, uncovered, for 8 minutes, baste with pan juices. Bake an additional 8 minutes, baste again. Glaze chicken with a mixture of marmalade and remaining 1 tablespoon honey, continue to bake 8-10 minutes or until done. Transfer chicken to serving plate. Reduce pan juices until thickened and pour over chicken, garnish with orange slices....See Moreplllog
