Recipe- Chicken and Vegetable Soup


I live in California and as most of you know we are in a severe drought,it's actually quite sad how bad it has become. Everyday I Pray it rains and for one day it finally did! with fall just beginning one would think that it was time to bust out the beanies,boots and scarves right? Not in California. Well at least not me in weather that still reaches the high 80°'s yikes! But there was that miracle day a couple days ago where the air was chilly, the day was dim and the rain poured down. It was a beautiful day, it was a soup day!! It actually worked out perfect because I had left over rotisserie chicken and a bulk amount of pre cut vegetables that I had to use.
Chicken & Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
Shredded chicken(store rotisserie or boiled at home)
2 whole carrots sliced
1 half yellow onion sliced
1 bunch of  green beans chopped in half
1 long yellow squash sliced
1 handful of cilantro(off the stem) (optional)
1 small can of El Pato sauce(tomato sauce with Jalapeno or just reg tomato sauce)
tsp of minced garlic
1 box or 2 cans of chicken broth
2 cups of water
Salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients to the crock pot and set to low for 5 hrs or high for 3. occasionally stir and check for vegetable softness. You'll know when its ready if the broth is hot and the veggies are nice and soft.
MmMmMmm....
