Fall Days


I love these fall days. Gorgeous weather, leaves changing color, cool crisp air, and SOUP!!

I love to make soup, and my little guy loves to eat it!! I am convinced that he is a true "Comfort Food" eater. Anything that is considered down home cooking is right up his alley. This recipe is a favorite at our house, healthy and oh so easy to make. And that is what I consider a perfect recipe:) Hope you enjoy it too!!

Chicken Enchilada Soup


1 can black beans (drained)

1 can chili beans

1 can chicken broth

1 envelope taco seasoning

2 cans diced tomatoes ( I used 1 large can:)

1 can rotel tomatoes (or generic equivalent, these were .49 @ Target!!)

2 chicken breast halves ( I often use frozen)


Just put everything into a slow cooker, and stir. Place chicken in. Cook on high 3-4 hours. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Take out chicken breasts and shred with a fork and place back in your soup. Serve soup with shredded cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream. We like to eat this with Tortilla chips too!! Add a salad, and you've got an easy, healthy meal ready!! Enjoy!

Do you have any easy meal pleasers for your family! If so, I'd love to hear all about them!!

    That sounds quite good!! Do you put the chicken in while it's frozen or thaw it first??
    Thanks for the recipe?

    I do put it in frozen... I like to keep it simple:) One thing I forgot to add is that I do put the tomatoes in the blender, because we don't really like chunks of tomato!! Do as you please though!!

    Hey Karen- as I was looking at Christine's blog, I happened onto yours. Nice to be in touch and catch up with your life! Isn't blogging fun? I started mine about a year and a half ago.
    I'll look forward to continue reading your posts!

    Karen,
    Have you had the "Taco Soup" that Laurie makes?
    It's a staple at our house in the winter too.
    Similar to your above recipe...
    If you have it, I won't post it.
    Thanks for the chicken enchilada soup recipe.
