In regards to cooking, it is crucial to keep in mind that everybody started somewhere. I do not know of one person who was born with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There’s a great deal of learning that must be completed as a way to develop into a prolific cook and there is always room for improvement. Not only would you will need to start with the basics when it comes to cooking however you almost need to start if learning to cook a new cuisine such as Chinese, Indian, Thai, or Indian food.
This usually means at any given time on your cooking cycle cycles there is quite probably someone somewhere that is better and/or worse in cooking more than you personally. Take advantage of this as even the best have bad days when it comes to cooking. There are lots of men and women who cook for different reasons. Some cook as a way to consume and survive while others cook because they actually enjoy the process of cooking. Some cook through the times of emotional upheaval among many others cook out of sheer boredom. No matter your reason for cooking or understanding how to cook you should begin with the fundamentals.
The good news is that when you’ve learned the fundamentals of cooking it is unlikely you will ever have to displace them. Which means you may constantly build up and expand your cooking abilities. Since you learn new recipes and improve your culinary abilities and talents you’ll realize that preparing your own meals from scratch is a whole lot more rewarding than preparing prepackaged meals that are purchased from the shelves of your local supermarkets.
You will also find as your experience and confidence grows that you will see your self increasingly more regularly improvising while you proceed and adjusting meals to fulfill your own personal preferences. If you’d like more or less of ingredients or would like to make a recipe a little more or less hot in flavor you can make simple adjustments on the way in order to achieve this goal. Put simply you will begin punctually to create snacks of your very own. And that’s something that you will not of necessity learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills to newbies but you would never know if you did not master those simple cooking abilities.

The ingredients needed to make Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup:
- Prepare 3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (I like dark meat - more flavor. :) )
- Take 6 cups water
- Get 1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Take 6 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
- Prepare 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces (I like to cut them big for slow cooking so they don't disintegrate and still retain some texture)
- Take 1 medium bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (I happened to use the Hatch chilies I roasted the other day, but they're seasonal and sometimes hard to come by even when they're in season)
- Get 1 large stem celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Get 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained (optional - I don't always care for beans in this soup - but add a 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the recipe if you add the beans)
- Get 1/2 a 15 oz. can of corn (or 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels)
- Take 1/2 a 15 oz. can of tomatoes
- Make ready 1/2-1 teaspoon cumin
- Prepare 1-2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Prepare 2 bay leaves
- Get 3-3.5 teaspoons kosher salt to start
- Prepare 1-1.5 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice

- Take optional garnish: fried tortilla chips or strips, chopped fresh chilies, onions, cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges
Steps to make Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Soup:
- Dump all but garnish ingredients into your slow cooker and give it a few good stirs.
- Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or high for 5 to 7, depending on how hot your slow cooker gets.
- It's always nice if you can give the soup a few gentle stirs throughout the cooking process, but if you can't manage that because you're out of the house, then you can give it a stir and adjust the seasoning as necessary as soon as you get home. This will give the soup some time to more evenly and thoroughly absorb flavor before you sit down to enjoy it.
- I like it with a little steamed rice, some chopped onions and cilantro on top, a good extra squeeze of lime, and a few lashings of Tapatío. :) - - Enjoy!
