The Rival Cooks While I Sew

I usually like to cook, but with this current heat wave, the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove, and my husband will only eat so many salads.  Enter the Rival Crock Pot.  Thank goodness for slow cookers; I can throw in fresh ingredients and go sew while they cook.  My current favorite recipe is Chicken Tortilla Soup.

 

In a 4-quart cooker, combine the following ingredients:

1 cup onion, diced

1 cup celery, sliced

1 cup red pepper strips

1 cup yellow pepper strips

1 chicken breast, diced

3 cups chicken broth

14.5 ounce can stewed tomatoes

Garlic cloves (optional)

 

Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours. 

 

Serve in bowls with tortilla strips, avocado, jalapeno, and cilantro.
