Don’t you just love that question? Especially at 4:30 pm…… and when you don’t really have an answer?
I try not to get in that position and take advantage of my crockpot often! It’s a great day when I can have the kitchen clean, dinner in the crockpot all before noon 
I made this recipe yesterday and it was well loved by all.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
- 2 chicken breasts (you can use any kind of chicken, even leftover cooked, just don’t cook as long – probably want around 4 cups diced/shredded in the end)
- 1-15 oz can black beans (or 2 cups freshly cooked or 1 pint canned)
- 4-5 celery sticks, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 TB salt, adjust to taste
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp cumin (increase for more spiciness)
- 1-2 tsp chili powder
- 5-6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 4-8 oz diced green chilies (optional, but seeing how good the chili water made this, I would add this in the future if only using chicken broth)
- 8 cups broth (I used some leftover “chili pepper water” from roasting/canning green chilies this fall) but if I didn’t have that I would have used chicken broth
Place everything in the crockpot and turn to low for 6-8 hrs, shred chicken breasts and return to soup, keep on warm till ready to serve
Serve over chips and top with cheese and sour cream

Sounds yummy!
