    This is my ALL TIME FAV.

    Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

    Ingredients

    1 onion, chopped
    1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans
    1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
    1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
    2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
    1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
    3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
    sour cream (optional)
    crushed tortilla chips (optional)

    Directions

    Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
    Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

    This soup is awesome with some alterations: http://www.dairygoodness.ca/recipes/fiesta-chicken-soup

    You can do any of the following to lighten it/make it healthier:
    Omit the butter and use spray.
    Add additional veggies, like green beans or whatever else you have. We also add fresh chopped jalapenos.
    Use no-salt added chicken broth and skim or 1% milk.
    Bake your own tortilla chips by cutting real, fresh corn tortillas into strips and baking them until they're crispy.
    Omit the cheese - We never use it and it's still awesome.
    Serve with avocado and homemade pico - Yum!

    I also love this asian Hot & Sour Soup recipe - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/150100-hot-sour-soup

    And this Split Pea soup, which we make at least a few times a month - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/357803-traditional-ish-split-pea-soup?

    I will post more if I think of any in the next few days... Bumping for other suggestions as well! :bigsmile:

    If you go to FOODNETWORK.COM and look for soups from Giada DeLaurentiis, hers are very healthy. A couple of my favorites are Chicken and Artichoke Spezzatino and Beef and Butternut Squash Stew with sundried tomatoes. Also try Ellie Kreiger from Healthy Eating I have found soups are a great tool to lose weight.

    I just made the Jamaican red bean soup for lunch today - used black beans due to an aversion to kidney beans by one of my children. Put it in the crockpot on high - it was finished in 1 1/2 hours. It was amazing. Thank you for the recipe!

    This is the recipe my Grandma Rose used with one major change.... she would start with a fresh chicken and boil it and clean the water and boil it again.... WAY too much work for me! When I got her recipe, I began using a precooked rotisserie style chicken and this soup still is awesome!

    Put the whole Rotisserie cooked chicken in a pot. Fill the pot with water. Put on to boil or simmer (depending on how much time you have). After a while, take the chicken out of the pot and put it aside. You will later remove the chicken from the bones and throw it in in small pieces to the soup.

    Add to the water in the pot (and a lot of this is to taste, sorry!).... diced onion, celery, and carrots. (We buy them pre-diced.... yes I am that lazy). You also want to peel and slice a parsnip for sweetness.

    Now the tricky part. You have to find Herb-Ox low sodium chicken and beef bouillion and add it. I can only get it in the single packages inside a box and I probably use 5 boxes on a big stockpot of soup.... 4 chicken and 1 beef. Then you add pepper (we prefer garlic pepper in my house) to taste. That's is. Really. And it's good. Really. :happy:

    I love love love making soup. I take soup with me nearly every day for my lunch at work. And it's so good because most soups are easy to freeze.

    My favourite at the minute is butternut squash and red pepper.

    1 butternut squash (peeled, deseeded and chopped)
    2 red peppers (deceeded and chopped)
    1 white onion (diced)
    2 veg stock cubes
    salt and pepper

    Stick everything in a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil, I normally leave it for about 20-25 minutes until the squash is nice and soft. Drain but retain the liquid. Blend the veg with a hand blender and add in the retained liquid until it reaches the consistancy you want. That's it.

    I also put any left over liquid in a bag and freeze it so I can use it in other soups for added flavour.
