Quick & Easy Week Night Dinner - Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup
Soup is always an easy go to for me during the week because I can either leave it in the crock pot all day to simmer or make it ahead of time. It is easy to bring for lunch, re-heat for leftovers, and it is usually even more delicious the day after you make it. Interested in my other soup recipes?

Quick & Easy Tortilla Soup
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED: Olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, chicken breast, 2 (10 oz cans) Rotell with green chillies, 1 jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chicken broth, All Purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, cilantro for garnish
WHY THIS WORKS DURING THE WEEK: This recipe does not take a lot of thought or skill. Put everything in the crock pot, 6 hours later you have delicious soup. You can adjust the spice level by eliminating the jalapeño or decrease the amount of chili powder. I made corn bread muffins to go along with the soup, but you could also eat tortilla chips with this as well.
LET'S GET COOKING: Add all ingredients to the crock pot except the cheddar cheese and cilantro. Stir. Set on high for 6 hours. Still in cheddar cheese. Bam. Done.

Eating disorders impact the entire family system, and while so much of the treatment process is focused on the client, the caregivers tend to struggle at home with minimal support. Join Dallas Nutritional Counseling for a two-hour parent workshop, where we will bridge the gap between what the client needs and what the family needs. In this workshop you will gain a deeper understanding of the vital role you play in the recovery process, connect with other families going through the recovery process, and feel more confident in supporting your loved one. We will also be joined by Hila Eyal whose daughter struggled with an eating disorder and now is in recovery. Hila will share their family story of how they navigated the recovery process at the beginning, in the middle, and now ongoing.
