There was a thread about crockpot meatloaf here just days ago.

I like to do spare ribs in L-C BBQ sauce with mine.

Those cheapie Pork shoulder pretend hams (cottage roll) are very nice
crockpoted.

Soups work well and are a way to satisfy cravings for rice, pasta or
potatoes without going carb crazy.... because you can limit their amounts
to fit your needs.

I make this soup in a crockpot...I got the recipe from Nancy.

Nancy's Chicken Tortilla Soup

soups

1 medium onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
1 carrot; chopped
2-3 garlic cloves minced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 4 oz can green chiles
1 15oz can italian herbed tomatoes chopped; with juice
4 cups chicken stock; 4 -6 cups
1 tsp lemon pepper use a strong brand
2 tsp worchester sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin powder
1/2 tsp hot sauce (to taste)
1/2 cup water
4 tbsp flour
1 lb chicken parts skinned and de-boned; i use thighs
1/3 cup sour cream; see note

In a heavy large dutch oven over medium heat soften the onion carrot and
celery in the oil. Add the minced garlic and cook about one more minute.
Add the green chiles and the chopped tomatoes, then add the chicken stock
and the seasoning. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

In a small bowl stir together the flour and water then add to soup.
Simmer
5 minutes more.

Add the chopped chicken meat. Simmer about 5 minutes more.

stir in the sour cream and serve.

Best served with corn tortilla chips .

Note if you are going to freeze parts of this don't add the sour cream
till
ready to serve. Sour cream doesn't freeze well.
