Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Recipe at link‼️ ➡️ https://dawns-ad-lib.com/2019/07/29/slow-cooker-chicken-tortilla-soup/

After blender…strain contents with chile in it…straight into slow cooker.

Most recipes call for a couple of different dried chili peppers, but I like at least 4. It seems to add more depth of flavor. i.e., Chipotle, guajillo, Ancho, Chile de Árbol, pasilla, & New Mexico Chile 🌶🌶🌶
Also, a couple of different chili powders 😉
With a cucumber & dill salad 😋 recipe below
I prefer to keep dressing in a cruet
But, a Mason jar works; they’re used for EVERYTHING 😉

Cucumber, Red Onion & Dill Salad

Now you know I’m not a follower (good thing I rarely bake), so taste throughout, adjusting to your preferences. If you don’t mind sugar, you can use that instead of honey (I think most do), and…I didn’t have anymore white wine vinegar so I used very HEALTHY Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar; I had red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegars, and rice vinegar…I personally just like the apple.
Don’t let what kind of vinegar you have stop you.
You can also adjust salt and pepper a “little”.  How “vinegar-y” you like it is up to you, but vinegar does go great with cucumbers. You can also add some (like 1/2 cup) water. Or…like I did…evoo. yes, I did that. Hey, it tastes delicious. I pour it into a DressingCruet, then shake before adding to salad.
