Skinnytaste’s Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup
I’ve been a fan of the Skinnytaste website for awhile now, so it was no surprise that I loved the cookbook, The Skinnytaste Cookbook. But it really says a lot when meals are husband and toddler-approved, so I had to share my praises. And I told you guys I wouldn’t leave you hanging when it came to a recipe, so here you are! This chicken enchilada soup uses the Crock-Pot, every mom’s best friend, and while you do have to do a bit of cooking before throwing everything in the pot, it’s well worth it to have a meal ready to eat when you get home. This also freezes well — and eats well of course!
