Chicken Tortilla Soup

Spence has been traveling lately and I wanted to have dinner ready when he came home on Friday. The only problem was that I had been sick all week. I really didn't have the energy to make anything. So, I went to my food board on Pinterest for some inspiration.

I came across a pin of some delectable looking soup, and followed it to the Table for Two Blogpost here. (Doesn't it look amazing!) I also loved that it was super easy to prepare and that I didn't have to thaw the chicken before preparing. You can find the recipe on the blog.

I did make a couple of adjustments to the soup:

• Added in one can of black beans, rinsed
• Instead of canned tomatoes I found a few fresh ripe tomatoes from the garden, chopped, and added to the soup.
• I did not add any spicy peppers because I am allergic. (I'm sure it would be good though)
• I didn't have monterey jack cheese so I used cheddar

I also mixed up the toppings a bit. I made some fresh guacamole, chopped up some cilantro, and gave us each a lime wedge to add into our soup.

I had forgotten how yummy and easy crockpot meals could be!
