Hmmm

This question has been going around so I thought I would post.

Question is: If you saw ME in a police car what would you think I got arrested for?

Chicken Tortilla Soup

SO I was a part of a food blog for a while and because I know the people involved still eat it mustbe the whoe blog thing.

I recently made chicken tortilla soup for mexican night.

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 - 2 lbs. of bone-in chicken thighs (I use thighs because they tend not to dry out like breasts and they are way more afforadble.)
6 cups of chicken broth
1 can of diced tomatoes
1/2 can of diced tomatoes w/ green chiles
i large white onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 jalapeno (I didn't use jalapeno the last time because the store didn't have it I used poblano-not spicy enough for me)
2-3 tsps chili powder
2 tsps cumin
salt to taste
a palmful of chopped cilantro
1 lime (juice half for cooking and half during serving)

soft corn tortillas - fry to garnishing bowls
chihuahua cheese or monteray jack - to sprinkle on top of bowls (i would of loved some queso blanco but it was so expensive)

bake chicken thighs @ 350 degress for about 40 mins - remove skin and debone - shred chicken

in a skillet cook onions and garlic (in a little vegetable oil)

I used the crockpot cooked on low for about 8 hours

combine the rest of the ingredients in crockpot
