What's cookin' ?

[Jail]

I know there are a bunch of you culinary experts out there. Please share what you're having for breakfast, lunch or dinner today. I know of at least one true chef who graces our Playground Forum, and I've tried to talk him into starting a cooking thread. His knowledge of spice useage and preparedness of foods, always amazes me. Damn, he makes me drool when he tells me what he's making for dinner.

So please if you can, share your recipes here for others to enjoy.

They sound delicious, whether they are vegetarian or meat-based.

It has been brought to my attention there was a previous thread on recipes and cooking. I have included this link in my sig line. Please feel free to check for wonderful recipes from there also.

Thank you, Arden

One more for the crock pot...soooo yummy and I had it today! AA

Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
(Should serve about 6-8)

1 Skinless, boneless chicken—cooked (boiled); broken up into bite-sized pieces
1 14 ½-ounce can Diced tomatoes—drained
1 10-ounce can Enchilada sauce
1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles—drained
1 Garlic clove—minced
1 medium onion—chopped
1 14 ½-ounce can Chicken Broth (or fresh broth from the boiled chicken)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 10-ounce package frozen corn (or frozen corn with black beans, if available)
1 tablespoon dried, chopped cilantro (I use fresh …about a small handful—chopped roughly.)

Garnish:
1 bag Grated Cheese (cheddar/pepper jack mix, Mexican mix, or whatever you like)
Corn Tortillas—cut into strips and crisped in hot oil (about ½ by 2 ½ inches—not critical)

Boil the chicken on stove in water, salt, 1 chopped carrot, and one chopped rib of celery for one hour. Remove the chicken—cut into bite sized pieces and set aside. Strain about 14-½ to 16 ounces of the fresh broth and set aside (if you are using the fresh instead of the canned broth.)

Combine all ingredients (including the chicken and broth) in the crock-pot. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Serve hot—sprinkle cheese over top of the individual bowls and top with several tortilla strips. This is great winter soup for cold days.

Note: The tortilla strips can be fried and the chicken done a day or two ahead of time.

*chuckles* Sorry, Ed. I just had to steal this recipe from the other thread. I'm making this today, to have for tomorrow's dinner.
