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!

I made this for dinner today and it was DELICIOUS! It even got a “you can make this again” from my husband, and that is about as good as his compliments get. It was just thick enough and tasted wonderful–next time, though, I think I’ll leave it vegetarian just to see how it turns out. Thanks!!

HEY GANG, I KNOW EVERYONE IS IN "BABY WATCH", BUT I WANTED YA TO KNOW I MADE THIS AND IT ROCKS! I DID "MAC" IT UP A LITTLE. I SUBSTITUTED ROTEL TOMATO & CHILI ORIGINAL FOR THE TOMATOES, USED CANNED GREEN GIANT MEXICORN INSTEAD OF FROZEN, AND ADDED A LITTLE GARLIC POWDER, CUMIN, AND CHILI POWDER TO THE ENCHILADA, SOUP, MILK MIXTURE. I DID IT STOVETOP COOKING THE CHICKEN, ONION AND GREEN PEPPER FIRST, THEN ADDED THE OTHER INGREDIENTS IN ORDER AND SIMMERED FOR 15 MINUTES. YA GOTTA TRY IT, ESPECIALLY ON THESE CHILLY WINTER NIGHTS!

I’m going to have to make this over the weekend. I love tortilla soup and the enchilada/chowder take on it sounds incredible. I’m drooling…
