How much does this Soup serve?
What is Rotel??
Rotel is the brand name of a tomato and pepper blend that is canned. There are store brand versions that are equally as tasty. You can usually find it next to salsa in stores (or with canned tomatoes).
Thanks!! Don’t think we have Rotel in Ireland but hopefully will find something similar as this looks SO yummy!
Can you do this in the crockpot ( slow cooker)?
How long? And would you still sauté carrots/peppers/onions or no?
Yes, you can make this recipe in a crock-pot. You would not need to saute the carrots, peppers and onions but I would suggest you place them in the crock-pot first and then add the beans, chicken, corn and liquids. Cook in crock-pot for 4-6 hours on low or 2-3 on high.
