Winter Soups: Chicken Enchilada Soup

 

Another chilly day, another warm crock pot dinner! In all honesty, I didn't have high hopes for this meal. I expected it to be just "okay". I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be really good! I made Matthew's favorite corn tortilla's to go with our soup, but you could add tortilla chips, or those little tortilla strips they sell in the salad aisle. Either way, this meal is sure to meet your need for a little Mexican food, without dirtying lots of dishes in the process.

Hard to believe such a tasty meal is made up of such simple ingredients!
