    Taco Soup in the slow cooker (AKA: Crockpot)

    I do this one in the slow cooker - you can make it vegetarian - just omit the meat, I've made it both ways.

    Brown 1 pound of ground turkey, drain off fat, dump into slow cooker.
    Add:
    1 can of corn (drained)
    1 can of Creamed Corn
    1 can of Rotel
    1 can of stewed tomatoes
    2 cans of beans (your choice- sometimes I do red kidney chili beans, sometimes white beans, sometimes I get the S & W beans with chipotle seasoning on them)
    1 packet of Taco Seasoning
    2 soup cans (from the corn or beans) of water

    Mix well, and cook on low all day - your kitchen will smell AWESOME!!!
    I serve with sour cream, Juanita's chips, shredded cheese, and taco toppings (fresh tomatoes, onions, etc).


    Hubs loves this soup, and when coming home for dinner can smell it outside and is excited for dinner.

    Loaded baked potato-- my version doesn't use a million pounds of butter, which makes it awesome / sad. Sorry this recipe is so rough-- I've made it so many times now that I don't really do measurements, but here's my guess:

    4+ servings

    4-6 Russett potatoes, cubed (I leave the skin on)
    1 small onion, diced
    6 strips (turkey) bacon* diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
    olive oil (I use a Misto spray, so just use whatever you usually use to sautée)
    cooking water + 3-4 cups water
    2-3 c chicken or veg broth
    Sriracha hot sauce to taste*
    1 c milk
    2 T flour
    4 oz cream cheese*

    Boil the cubed potatoes in some water until they're almost cooked / tender (usually 15-20 min or so). Meanwhile, in a pan, sautée the bacon until almost fully cooked and crispy. Add the onions, then the garlic. Remove from heat when everything's cooked to your liking. Once the potatoes are almost fully cooked, drain the water (it'll be kind of starchy, so it's nice to use new water for the soup itself). Add the potatoes, onion, bacon and garlic to a large pot (I use the one I just boiled the potatoes in), then add in enough water and broth to make things as liquidy as you want (I like thicker soup, but some people like a thinner soup). Stir in sriracha, if desired. Let everything simmer away for another 20 min or so. Whisk together the flour and milk, add to soup. Add cream cheese. Give everything a good stir and cook for another 10-ish min. Garnish with green onion, reserved bacon crumbles, and/or shredded cheddar cheese.

    * = optional but recommended (and I don't want to enter the pork v. turkey bacon debate... let's just say in soup, who cares?)

    I love the classic chicken soup. I have a recipe, but not home right now. If you would like it, send me a message. It has an Italian twist to it and has mini meatballs in it. Sooo good.

    Also, going to try this when it gets a tad cooler out.

    I love a super spicy carrot soup that I make with red curry paste and Ash-e-resteh, a traditional persian soup with a lot of beans. It's so flavourful !

    Hearty Mountain Chicken Stew

    Buy a whole chicken and roast it. Take the carcass and other chicken bones and simmer (don't boil!) for about 4-6 hours with celery, ginger, carrots, potatoes, onions, leeks, rosemary, dill, thyme, oregano (Fresh) garlic, and turnips. Add in the roasted chicken pieces and simmer for another hour. Before serving, puree the chicken skin with a little bit of oil until smooth and whisk into the hot soup to immerse well. Serve in a big bowl

    Hubby and I love the "cabbage soup diet type" soup base recipe,but I add lots of spices. I do not recommend the lunacy of actually following the insane diet it is from, but as an appetizer or a side with normal food, it is yummy!

    Cabbage - Raw, 0.5 head, large (about 7" dia)
    Great Value (Walmart) - Vegetable Juice Reduced Sodium,
    Carrots - Raw, 6 medium
    Celery - Raw, 6 stalk large (11"-12" long)
    Onions - Raw, 3 medium (2-1/2" dia)
    Hunt's - Crushed Tomatos (100% Natural)
    garlic
    oregano
    basil
    italian seasoning
    pepper

    I LOVE this soup. For variety after reheating a bowl full, I add pumpkin seeds and 2T of fat free sour cream. YUM!!!
