With this nice cool fall weather we've been having lately, I have been craving warm cooked meals so my slow-coooker has come to the rescue. I love that I can throw everything in there in the morning and then come home later and dinner is all ready for me, plus the house smells delicious! We had this yummy chicken enchilada soup this week and I had to share because it's so good and just over 300 calories per serving! I love finding something that is equally healthy and delicious so I hope you'll enjoy it as much as us.
