In the Slow Cooker: Chicken Enchilada Soup


When I worked at Sur la Table, it was a priority of mine to maximize the employee discount benefits. One of the greatest electrics I purchased was the Breville Risotto Plus. It's a rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer all-in-one amazing device. It even cooks a flawless risotto! Some of my favorite things to cook in it are mac & cheese, brown rice while steaming broccoli, and sauteed onions. Yes, it can saute, too!

Since my move, it has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I went in search of a new recipe to try and stumbled upon this chicken enchilada soup! Determined not to buy any ingredients (other than avocado and black beans) and salvage what I already had at home, I was still able to make a delicious meal!

About a month ago, target had this insane sale on chicken thighs. Weird, I know. But I grabbed a couple packs and froze them, knowing they would be perfect for some recipe. This was it!

Here is my altered recipe for the slow cooker soup:

1 medium onion, chopped
1 can green chiles
5 garlic cloves, minced
1T cumin
1T sugar
2 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup roasted corn (Trader Joe's)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1t cayenne pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste
