All opinions are mine alone #SmartWayToShareJoy #CollectiveBias Around the holidays, I struggle to make meals for my family. We're all so busy running to a holiday party or our kid's school performances, so I just can't seem to find time to make a hearty meal. I always seem to forget that I can fit in the time if I break out my slow cooker. I created this crockpot enchilada soup recipe because I wanted something warm and comforting, but still healthy this holiday season. To make this crockpot enchilada soup, I opted to use pork loin. Usually, pork loin can be dry because it lacks the fat of other cuts of pork. However, cooking it in a slow cooker ensures it gets nice and moist. I adapted two different pork soup recipes to come up with this pork crockpot enchilada soup. I adapted two different pork soup recipes (here and here) to come up with this pork crockpot enchilada soup. I'm so happy with how the recipe turned out. The soup is hearty, filling, and really healthy. It is a perfect soup to serve to my family during the holidays when we need something warm. If you don't like pork, or if you have left-over turkey, chicken or even ham, you could easily substitute any other meat for pork. If you're vegetarian, you could add a few more variety of beans, lentils and even rice to replace the meat. I served the soup with a variety of toppings, including some homemade fried tortilla strips, limes, avocado, and cilantro. I also set out the festive limited edition holiday Coca-Cola 2 liter bottle so we could enjoy something a little sweet with the savory soup. You can find the Coca-Cola holiday products at Family Dollar, which is a go-to destination for quality products at a great value. I drink Coca-Cola products all year long, but I especially love to share more joy during the holidays by adding the holiday limited edition versions to my celebrations.
