EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chicken thighs, with their higher fat content, are better cooked in the slow cooker than lower fat chicken breasts. Breasts, which become tough and dry with long, slow cooking, are best used in recipes with minimal cooking time.

I recently made this soup. First it was just for my husband & me. He's vegetarian, so I substituted a vegetarian "meat" for the chicken...we both enjoyed it! Then I made it for church potluck a couple of weeks ago. We have some church members who eat a vegan diet, so I found a vegan-based meat substitute to use the 2nd time. The only other change I made was to reduce the spice, since most of those I was making it for wouldn't have enjoyed it so spicy. The result??....it was a hit!! I received several compliments. Thanks for an easily-adaptable recipe! I will be making this soup again.
