SOUTHWESTERN SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND POTATO SOUP
Eight simple ingredients is all this hearty and delicious Tex-Mex soup calls for... and we love it! Prep it before you head to work and come home to this spicy soup is packed with chunks of chicken, potatoes and corn, and flavored with cumin. A quick 15 minutes gets all the ingredients ready and the slow cooker does the rest. The sweetness of the potatoes play against the mild heat of the chiles in the tomatoes. Dial up the heat with the hot variety of tomatoes with chiles. Add some chopped green onion at the end for a little burst of color and touch of fresh crunch. Serve with a simple green salad for a complete meal. Leftovers are great for a portable lunch. If corn is in season, use fresh in place of frozen.

SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN GIZZARDS
Gizzards are inexpensive and very flavorful but can be tough. By cooking them low and slow they become really tender and the Southwestern spices are always a hit in my house. We eat these over rice or in a tortilla like a burrito. If my picky 12-year-old likes them and actually requests them on a regular basis, then I know it's a winner.
