Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I also think adding the rice at the beginning is a mistake. I didn’t read the review until AFTER I had mixed it all together. So I went back and added some extra chicken stock at the beginning and more at the end. My husband really liked it, I wasn’t the biggest fan, but maybe I’ll try it again, but cook the rice and add it at the last 30 minutes or so. We served it with diced avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips, and it was pretty good, but not as good as I had expected. Also I’m pregnant, and my taste buds might not be reliable :). Try it out, but add the rice at the end, not the beginning!

I think adding the rice at the beginning of the cooking process is a big mistake. My soup became mush – flavorful mush, but not really what I had in mind for crock pot chicken tortilla soup. In fact, if I hadn’t had extra broth on hand (which I added to thin out what was previously the consistency of oatmeal), I probably would have scrapped the whole thing and ordered pizza.

I would recommend adding everything EXCEPT the rice at the beginning of the cooking process, then maybe adding it in for the last 2 hours (or less) of cooking when you’re ready to shred the chicken. Or even cooking the rice separately and adding it in at the end, just before serving.
