Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup


This time of year induces my soup making mode.  I don't know what it is about the cooler weather that makes me want to throw ingredients into my Crockpot and then have warm tasty soup waiting for me a few hours later.  If you are like me then this is a great recipe to try.  Its a little spicy so if you have little ones in your house you might want to cut the amount of cayenne pepper by half.
