I know how it is to get into a rut with cooking. Sometimes we just need someone to share a great recipe with us. It's a family favorite, and it's easy.
Ingredients: 4 chicken breast halves (cook, debone & shred chicken) 1 garlic clove, minced, 2 Tbsp. butter, 2 14 1/2 oz cans of chicken broth, 2 14 oz cans chopped stewed tomatoes, 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 Tbsp or more of ground cumin.
Melt the butter and add the minced garlic to it. Combine all the other ingredients in a slow cooker THEN add the sautéed garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.
Then shred or cube 8 oz of Monterey jack cheese - put this in your soup bowls. Ladle your soup over the cheese THEN sprinkle tortilla chips on the top and add a dollop of sour cream.
IT'S that easy and very yummy. I always double the recipe. It's great the first day and even better the second. And it freezes well— Enjoy! Let me know how you like it!
