Chicken Tortilla Soup - Crock Pot!

Ingredients:

• 2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup
• 2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
• 2 cans Cream or Celery soup
• 2 cans Cheddar Cheese Soup
• 2 15 oz. cans of chicken broth
• 1 cup salsa (whatever hotness you prefer)
• 1 15oz. can of diced tomatoes
• 1 or more cans green chilies
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
• 4 cloves fresh minced garlic
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• salt & pepper to taste
• 4 cooked chicken breasts cut into small pieces OR 2-3 cans of chicken, shredded

Simmer in crock pot on low for about 4 hours or on high for 2 or 3. The chicken is already cooked so you just need to get it piping hot and meld all the flavors together.

Serve in bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream, and crispy tortilla strips. (You can slice up a tortilla and fry the strips, or buy them @ the store)

**This makes almost a whole crock pot full!

S'More Brownies

Crust:

• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted


• 1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs


• 2 Tbsp sugar


• Pinch of fine salt

Brownie:

• Box of brownie mix. (Follow directions on back of box.)

Topping:

• 4 Cups of marshmallows

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.

For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the brownie. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, for as long as the box says to bake. Probably around 45 - 50 minutes.

Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.
