Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup
- 10 chicken thighs bone in, skin on
- 1 can fat-free cream of chicken soup
- 3 inches adobo chipotle peppers, finely minced, use fewer if you want to lower the heat
- 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
- 2 cups black beans drained
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
- 1 package enchilada seasoning
- 1/2 cup rice
- 4 scallions chopped
- salt to taste
- This is one of those recipes that's best to start in the morning. Toss your chicken in (mine was frozen solid) and add enough water that it's about 2 inches from the top of a 6 quart crock. Cook on high for about 4 hours.
- When you pop home for lunch, remove the chicken to a bowl and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile carefully ladle the broth through a fine strainer to get the ooky bits out. I have a big one that I set up over a 2 quart pitcher.
- Cook's note: If you HAVE precooked chicken (like one of those rotisserie numbers) and chicken broth, you can start at Step 4.
- Pour the broth back into the crock and add the black beans, chicken, enchilada mix, chipotle peppers, cream of chicken soup, and tomatoes.
- Once the chicken is cool, remove the skin and bones and chop the remaining meat.
- Add the chicken back to the crock.
- Then leave it cooking on high for the afternoon. If you'll be gone more than about 5 hours, I'd leave it on low.
- When you get home, if your crock is not on high, turn up the heat and add the rice and scallions.
- Cook for another 20-30 minutes or until the rice is done.
- You could serve this with sour cream or cheese, but really, it's totally great the way it is. Just add salt to taste. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have another bowl.
