If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that usually every month I choose a Cookbook of the Month and post a recipe from that cookbook every Friday. Well, things are going to be a little different this month. I actually really slacked last month. I only posted 2 recipes from the Cookbook of the Month for December. And since this month is so busy and unpredictable, I decided to take a break from the regular routine. Instead, I will still be posting a recipe from a cookbook every Friday. But it will be more of a Cookbook Feature – a different cookbook each week.
This first recipe comes from a new cookbook. I’ve said it before, but I’m a sucker for those mailers that I get in the mail, promising a new and beautiful cookbook. Before I know it, I’ve sent it back in, asking for my copy to be sent to me. This is one such cookbook – Family Circle’s Quick and Easy Cooking. So far, though, it has been a good purchase. We all know that I love quick and easy, and I have quite a few recipes bookmarked from this book.
This Slow Cooker Chicken and Cheese Enchilada Soup really couldn’t be any easier. It is a slow cooker recipe, so it’s not exactly quick. (Why they have a slow cooker recipe in a quick cookbook is beyond me!) But I’m always up for trying a new slow cooker recipe. And it’s the perfect time of year for a warm bowl of soup. Also, the original recipe is vegetarian, I added in the chicken, but this would be just as good by leaving out the chicken. A perfect winter’s night meal! If you love a good slow cooker soup as much as I do, you’ll love this one!

This looks really good. There was a southwest chicken soup I tried the other day and really liked it. This looks a little similar.
