Made this last night, stove top instead of slow cooker. It was AWESOME! I did make some changes tho. Used left-over cooked chicken that I shredded, used a can of diced tomato with green chili's instead of whole tomatoes, used all chicken broth instead of broth and water, and used a Serrano pepper sliced thin, with ribs and seeds, instead of banana peppers. Spicy! I used Ancho chili powder instead of generic chili powder. I also upped the measurements of the chili powder and cumin to 1 tablespoon each, and added a tablespoon of ground corriander because I didn't have fresh cilantro. I also just bought the tortilla strips that are sold in the salad dressing isle, instead of buying a whole pack of corn tortillas that I would only use 7 of. Got the chili/lime flavored ones, and they were great! Also, when I served the soup, I served it with lime wedges to squeeze over the soup. Very nice touch. My husband loved it, and I see this becoming a regular soup in our house!

Made this last night. Really liked it! Made a couple of changes, and found a few things I will add next time. Added about a cup of chicken stock. I served it over Cous Cous, and sprinkled it with crumbled low fat feta cheese. Next time I will add mint, as well as the other fresh herbs, and maybe capers.

Made this for dinner with Fried Chicken. It rocked! It takes awhile to make, but boy is it good! AND, every time I've had Collards before I made this, I HATED them! I'm now a Collard Green lover! Also, forgot to mention that I used smoked ham hocks instead of the turkey drumsticks, and added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
