Spicy Crockpot Chicken Soup

D has been on a soft foods diet for nearly a week now, so I’ve needed to come up with meals that don’t heat up the house and work for his restricted diet.

This recipe can easily be made in the crockpot,…

Crockpot Chicken Taco Soup This simple dish has quickly become a favorite around our house. The original idea came from our neighbor. A few quick modifications lead to this version.
