Is a 7qt crockpot big enough for this?

I was sincerely skeptic about trying this recipe, but if it weren't for the reviews, I most surely would have not made it, due to it's high use of canned soup. I decided to go for it and hope for the best. I made it exactly as mentioned, only I added whipping cream (about a cup) as the soup was pretty thick. I made it using the crock pot and cooked it for several hours. Oh my goodness, it is unbelievably tasty and other than the bigger chunks of chicken I used, it tastes identical to Max and Erma's! I never write reviews, but I just know there is someone like me who thinks this is not worth trying! Trust me, it is!! So, so delicious!

I have a Max and Erma's right down the street, and have had the soup many many times. This soup, while not bad, tastes nothing like Max and Ermas. I really was hopeful. If you want an okay soup, its fine, but if you want something even slightly resembling the real thing, you need to try another recipe.

Will changing the green chili peppers to jalapeño peppers make it taste any different?
