Nothing fills the belly and warms the heart quite like a good chicken tortilla soup recipe. Made with real chicken, peppers, tortilla strips, tomatoes and more, the chicken tortilla soup is a delicious food that the entire family will enjoy.
There are dozens of different types of recipes available for making these soups. Each one has its own unique twist, as there is no such thing as a “traditional recipe” – even within Mexico, the ingredients that go into these soups can vary by region, with each one having its own special flavor for you to enjoy.
That said, you will generally find a chicken tortilla soup recipe that is cooked in one of two methods:
1) Slow Cooker (Crockpot)
2) Standard Pot
Before you go about choosing your chicken tortilla soup recipe, you will need to ask yourself which of these cooking methods you prefer, based on the benefits and weaknesses of their systems.
Slow Cooker/Crockpot
Benefits
As with many things in life, time is of limited quantity. A slow cooker allows you to start cooking when you have some free time so that the meal will be ready when you are ready to eat it. In addition, slow cookers do not heat to a boil, which can help you keep some of the vital nutrients inside of the dish so that your meal turns out healthier. Finally, slow cooking allows juices to seep into your meats better than they would previously, allowing you to fully savor every bite.
Weaknesses
Slow cookers are very slow – you simply cannot cook any meal on the fly as you could with a pot. Similarly, many ingredients that you may enjoy that are found in a traditional chicken tortilla soup recipe may lose its flavor when cooked over a long period of time in the Crockpot. Hot spices, for example, tend to become bland and bitter if cooked for too long. This can be a problem, and will limit the number of recipes you will be able to use.
Standard Pot
Benefits
Standard pots allow you to cook quickly and easily, ready to make an entire meal for you and your family. You will not need to worry about the meal being done when you are ready for it, nor will you be unpleasantly surprised by a poor tasting food since you can test your soup as you cook it. There are also far more recipes designed for the standard pot than there are for the Crockpot.
Weaknesses
Standard pots can damage nutrients, and require you to be constantly at work cooking the soup before your meal. You cannot prepare ahead of time with the standard pot, as the chicken is not meant to sit for very long before serving.
Both of these cooking methods have their benefits and weaknesses for your chicken tortilla soup needs. A slow cooker will allow you to prepare the food ahead of time for consumption so that it is ready by the time you are ready to enjoy it, and it may be able to retain greater nutrient levels, but standard pots are faster, easier, and work with many of the traditional recipes. Luckily, whichever one you choose will be more than suitable for cooking a delicious meal for you to enjoy.

Chicken is one of the most popular meats to be eaten in the world. Everyday, millions of people consume chicken in a variety of ways. They may choose to grill, bake, smoke, or fry it, or use it inside another dish such as a casserole, salad, soup, or pasta. Fast food restaurants here in the USA alone thrive on their sales of chicken related dishes, such as sandwiches, nuggets, wraps, and salads. With so many people consuming the meat, there must be hundreds of recipes out there, wouldn’t you agree?
Recipes for chicken dishes can vary greatly in many ways. Some are simple, five minute recipes that can be prepared for just a couple of people after a long day at work. Others may take all day to cook, and combine a number of ingredients with the chicken. The complexity of these recipes can vary as well. A salad, for example, would just comprise of cooking the chicken and tossing it with some vegetables. Other dishes, such as chicken and dumplings, would require the cutting of the meat and the dough, and then allowing both to cook in a pot for hours.
I personally like to prepare my chicken in a variety of ways. My recipe box is full of hundreds of chicken based creations that I could not possibly choose one favorite! Grilling chicken outside is always fun when you are having a family cookout. Warm chicken soup is very nice to eat in the cold of the winter. Chicken wraps make for a quick, healthy lunch. I would guess that I love chicken so much that I consume it almost daily. The best thing about cooking chicken is that the possibilities are endless…You could cook chicken every day for a year, and never eat the exact same meal twice!

There’s so much you can do with chicken. This is a quite original dish containing banana and peanuts. It’s originally a Swedish dish called “Flygande Jakob” which means ”Flying Jacob” in English. The name derives from the founder of the recipe, Ove Jakobsson who was a flight freight manager. The recipe reached the magazines in 1975. The original version is supposed to be oven baked but takes significantly longer. This version of the dish can be made directly on the stove and will take less than 30 minutes to complete. A great recipe for the whole family. The kids love the combination of banana and peanuts.

This turkey recipe uses brine techniques to bring forth turkey meat which is incredibly moist. Cooking this turkey meat for your Christmas meal will make you a hit both your friends and family. Home cooking has never never more exciting! For more details www.thanks-giving-recipes.com.In cooking, brining is a process similar to marination in which meat is soaked in a salt solution (the brine) before cooking.Brining makes cooked meat moister by hydrating the cells of its muscle tissue before cooking, via the process of osmosis, and by allowing the cells to hold on to the water while they are cooked, via the process of denaturation. This prevents the meat from drying out, or dehydrating.
