Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 pound shredded, cooked chicken (or 1 pound of cooked boneless chicken breasts, cubed (which I prefer))
1 (15 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, mashed
1 (10 ounce) can rotel (spice level is your preference)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups water
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
7 corn tortillas
vegetable oil
Place chicken, tomatoes, Rotel, onion, green chiles, and garlic into a slow cooker. Pour in water and chicken broth, and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on High setting for 3 to 4 hours. (I personally prefer low for longer)
With 30 minutes left on the soup:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil.
Cut tortillas into strips, then spread on a baking sheet.
Bake until crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
To serve, sprinkle tortilla strips over soup.
This isn't a family passed down recipe or anything, it's one I found online a few years ago and have used ever since. Best chicken tortilla soup I've ever had. Of course you can always substitute the tortillas for plain ole corn chips, it's your call.
If you go this route, you're welcome in advance.

Ham & Beans (crock pot)
1# dry beans (lima, navy or pinto) "look" to remove ugly beans or debris; soak overnight in refrigerator covered with water. Rinse again before placing in pot.
1 medium-large onion, chopped
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/4# to 2# ham chunks (fully cooked)
water to cover fully.
Low for 7-10 hrs or high for 4-5 hrs. Done when beans are just done; best not to overcook.
If using a ham bone, remove about half way through, partly cool, then return removed good meat to pot.
This recipe is a good way to use up the last of a fully cooked spiral cut ham.

Thanks all! 3 recipes, 3 days off. Sounds like the crock pot is going to be hummin'. Went to the grocery store at lunch and got the fixin's for the ham/beans. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Use Anasazi Beans and you won't have to soak them overnight. Also, instead of water, use chicken stock to cover the beans.

Pork Chops and Beans
Take a couple of pork loin chops throw them in the crock pot along with a can of baked beans, a can of mexican corn, and a cup of salsa. Salt & Pepper to taste.
Let it cook about 8 hours.
You can double the recipe if needed.
Original recipe called for pork n beans, but I really like the Bush's baked beans better.

I don't use a recipe when I make ham hocks and beans, I just put a hame bone or two in a pot with beans and water, and let it simmer all day. sometimes I add extra ham.
