This is a family favorite slow cooker recipe from allrecipes.com for Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup by Elena. But I like it so much better in the Miracle Dish; the veggies still have a bit of a crunch. My husband thought the chicken didn't have quite as much flavor, but he liked the crunchy veggies, so he though it was a great give and take and gave it a 9. Phew, passed the husband test. Now the kids loved this the first day, but leftovers the next day was a bit too spicy for them, so they gave it a 4.
Oh, the only part of this test that failed was the amount of ingredients, there are A LOT of spices. I find I don't have the patience to open more than 3 spice jars. Hmmm, maybe that's just me, but next time I'm going to try substituting the long list of spices with 1 Taco Seasoning packet. I will also try using leftover shredded chicken instead of frozen. That will be for Chicken Tortilla Soup - The Sequel.

Instructions
The Prep - 5 Min
Chop Onions. Use lid to chop on.(No washing a cutting board + 1)
Place Frozen Chicken, Onion, Corn, Tomatoes, Enchilada Sauce, Chiles, Broth and Water in Dish.
Cooking - 36 Min
Put Lid on and Microwave on High for 30 Minutes.
Check that the lid is still in place every once in a while, I can't seem to get mine perfectly centered and sometimes it gets knocked off a bit.
Oh and this will be HEAVY so be CAREFUL PLEASE!!!
Oh and this will be HEAVY so be CAREFUL PLEASE!!!
Either pre-mix Boxed Corn Bread mix in another bowl.-or-
Wait until soup is done and use the Lid as a mixing bowl. (No washing mixing bowl +1)
DO NOT cover, and Microwave on High for 3 min. Just until the center rises.
If you want the Cornbread browned on top, just put it under the Broiler for about 1:30 min.
The Miracle Dish instructions said to not use it under the broiler, but using my own common sense, deduced that I could lower the rack and have the time exposed be short.
I was especially not afraid of it cracking since it was already hot.
