Chicken Tortilla Soup

My process for writing posts is as follows:
1) Try to remember to take pictures of cooking things or playing games
2) Do other things.  This step can take days, or weeks!)
3) Decide to write a post
4) Import photos from camera.  Look at photos and say "oh yeah, that happened!"
5) Write post

This week has been super full of the "other things" mentioned in step 2.  It was so full, that no menu was made, no groceries shopped for, no new fun recipes were made.  There was an emergency game night, but no pictures were taken.  Fortunately, there are pictures from over a week ago in the camera.

Soup! Cheese!  Avocado! What's not to love?

This is another slow cooker recipe from America's Test Kitchen Slow Cooker Revolution.  I've made it before, but this time was special.  The cooking time is only 4 to 6 hours, which means it's not great for starting in the morning and coming home to after an 8 hour day at the office (or school).  The solution? Mr. PotsAndPawns started it while I was out.  I came home to magic soup!  (Magic because I didn't have to cook it.) Hooray, soup!

All dressed up!  See how I put a chip in it?  Very fancy...

This soup made plenty of left overs, but it was so tasty that we didn't try to freeze any.  We just ate it all over the next couple of days.  

What: Chicken Tortilla Soup

Results: Tasty, and spicy! Watch out for those chipotles in adobo sauce!
