This wonderful soup is an easy, fun and super delicious recipe! Perfect for slow cookers; it'll guarantee smiles all around the table when you serve it!
*A word on cilantro. Like many other foods, cilantro takes on a totally different flavor profile when it's cooked. I know there are some who have a strong dislike for the taste of cilantro, however don't skip it! Think of the difference between raw onions and golden, sautéed onions. You might not care to have a big pile of raw onions on your burger or pizza but when sautéed, there's a huge difference. Same with cilantro. I promise that even cilantro haters will love this soup.

** I really like the chicken sausage from Trader Jo's. It's lean (only 100 calories per sausage with 11g of protein!) and the flavor is delicious. For this recipe I used their Spicy Jalapeño (it's not really super spicy) but any pre-cooked chicken sausage with good flavor will do.
