Come visit me in Dallas and I will take you to Luna del Noche...where it all began!

Wow! If and when we ever get out to visit my sister in law, I will have to look up Miss Kitty, Queen of Del Noche!

I should not open up threads such as these when I am already hungry.
When I make tortilla soup it usually has a can of Ro.Tel in it. Mm-mm good.
Clears those nasal passages right out.

Can't wait to try it as well. I'm making "Mexican lasagna" tonight -- I just layer salsa, broken up nachos, refried beans, more salsa, grated cheddar cheese (or whatever cheese I have), more salsa, nachos, black beans, salsa, cheddar, a few more nachos and some salsa and cheese. I bake it at 350 until it's heated all the way through (probably about an hour).

It's an easy meal and we enjoy it very much in our family.

I want to try it to so I looked for the recipe. Here it is:

CROCK POT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
1 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (I use more)
1 14 1/2 oz. can chicken broth
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. each, ground cumim, chili powder, salt.
1 tbs. chopped cilantro
1 can black beans
1 bay leaf
1 10 ox. pkg. frozen yellow corn
2 tbs olive oil
6 tortillas, corn or flour (option bite size tortilla chips)
grated cheese for garnish
sour cream for garnish
avocado for garnish

In crock pot, combine chicken, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, onion,
green chiles, and garlic.
Add broth,(water if you have room) cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, bay leaf.

Stir in corn, beans and cilantro.
Cover and cook on low 6 -8 hours.

You can preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas
with oil. Cut tortillas into strips and spread onto baking sheet. Bake, turning
occasionally until crisp. We substitute store bought tortilla bite size chips. Just
as good and a time saver.

Ladle soup in bowl. Sprinkle with cheese, add a spoonful of sour cream, top with
couple chunks fresh avocado. Serve with tortilla chips or strips. Delish!!

Another time saver is to buy rotisserie chickens then cut off all the meat.

You can double this recipe easily. Do not double the ground cumim. It's too much.

OH MY, oh my, oh my! That soup is soooooooo good. Thanks for sharing the recipe....it is a huge success.
