Last week was cold and rainy in Los Angeles and the perfect time to pull out my crock pot (as mentioned here) for a season filled with homemade soups, chili, and other comfort foods. I started with this recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup that proved simple, hearty, and full of flavor. I altered the recipe a little by putting the frozen chicken breasts directly into the soup, then shredding them before serving. I added celery and red peppers and we topped it with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and multi grain tortilla chips (instead of making my own). This will definitely be a regular in our dinner rotation during the upcoming months. What are your favorite slow cooker recipes?

That looks delicious and easy to make :) I love Crock Pot cooking, one of the few things I can do and not screw up!
That's what I need for lunch today. It is chilly... no rain yet but overcast and a bit depressing... That soup would definitely cheer me up!
I don't own a slow cooker. But the soup sounds pretty delicious.
That soup sounds delicious:)

Looks good, but I don't like pieces of chicken in soup...I also have only used my crockpot once for a super bowl party...I think I made bonelss ribs

Definitely trying this over the weekend. I have a slow cooker, but don't use it nearly enough, and making soup is on my to do list. I love it, but just never make it. Something about preparing it scares me, but I think I can handle a slow cooker.
Have a great day!

I'm making a similar soup tonight! Taco soup:).
I've never used the crock pot as much as I have this year... shrimp creole, coq au vin, pot roast... and many more to come!
I love to make stews in my crockpot, its so simple and they always come out delicious
Looks so good! My boyfriend would love some of that!
Divine! I'm trying this one soon! Thanks!!!
I was just thinking yesterday how I can't wait til it cools down again so it can be soup weather! This looks delicious!
This looks AMAZING! So tasty; I'll have to try it!

This looks and sounds delish Valerie. I'm in the mood for beef stew and may have to pull out the slow cooker. Fall is most def the right time of the year!

I'm not even afraid to say that I love my crockpot. I find stuff just to cook in it. It is THAT darn good!
Can't wait to try this. I love any type of Mexican food and tortilla soup is a personal fave. I love putting avocado on top. mmm!
Yum!!! I've been dying to break out the crock pot. Everything just tastes better in it, right? Time for some comfort food cooking :)
We are definitely trying this soon! We like to slow cook various forms of chicken in the cock pot the most... bbq chicken is always so tasty that way!
That recipe looks mouthwatering! I need to invest in a crockpot...
Slow cookers sound like a good idea. The meat has time to marinate and take the flavours well. Must try this
I think it's time I invest in a slow cooker. It must save so much time at night not to have to chop and stand over the stove. That chicken tortilla soup looks dy-no-mite!
YUM! I wish it were cold and rainy here too! My crockpot soup weather has yet to arrive. Enjoy your soup!
YUM! I have never made soup in the slow cooker before...what a good idea! Love to do chili and pulled pork!
just adding it to my list :)
