Ski Slope Soup

The title of this recipe refers to social time with a warm and hearty soup after a cold day of skiing.  There are several different versions of this soup – in this recipe, I use Southwestern flavors that complement fork tender pork.  Simply place all ingredients in a crockpot and forget it for 8 hours!

14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes (with liquid)

1 T. chili powder

1 ½ tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. black pepper

½ tsp. ground cumin

Lime wedges
