Vegetable Soup

This is basically Mom's vegetable soup recipe with a few tweaks. It is an easy recipe and you can basically add anything you want but I don't want to forget how I made it tonight so I am putting it here.

Ingredients:
 - 2 cans chicken broth
 - 1 can Italian style diced tomatoes (I pulse these in the blender)
 - chopped celery
 - chopped carrots
 - chopped zucchini
 - chopped spinach
 - 1 can white or kidney beans
 - a couple of handfuls of pasta (cooked)
 - 3/4 can of corn (drained)
 - 3/4 can green beans (drained)
 - onion salt
 - garlic powder
 - olive oil

Cook carrots, celery, and zucchini in the bottom of the pot with olive oil. Once they are soft enough for you add all other ingredients except spinach. Bring to boil. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Enjoy.

White Chicken Chili

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Okay I found this recipe while I was watching the Rachael Ray show one day a few years ago. It is pretty easy and I love it!! 

Ingredients

-1 32 ounce box chicken stock

-3 cans white beans drained

-5 cups cooked chicken (I usually buy a rotisserie chicken and put that in)

-1 16 oz jar salsa

-1 8 oz block pepper jack cheese grated. I am sure if your family does not like things too spicy you could replace the pepper jack cheese with whatever kind you want. 

-2 teaspoon ground cumin

-2 cloves garlic minced or just a bit of the dried flakes.

a pinch of salt and pepper

All you do to cook is put all ingredients together in a big pot on the stove on medium heat until cheese is fully melted and then eat with some corn chips and sour cream. YUM!!

CREAMY GREEN CHILI ENCHILADA SOUP

This is that delicious soup we found on Pinterest and made while I was home.

Ingredients:
 - 32 oz chicken broth
 - 24 oz chicken breasts (I used 3-4 pieces)
 - 2 cans Green Chili enchilada sauce
 - 4 oz can of diced green chilies
 - 3/4 c water
 - 2 tbsp ground cumin
 - 1 tbsp chili powder
 - 1 tsp onion powder
 - 1 tsp garlic powder
 - 1  frozen corn
 - 1 block cream cheese (cut into small pieces)
 - 3/4 c instant rice
 - salt and pepper to taste

 1. In crockpot, mix together the broth, green enchilada sauce, green chilies, water, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin.
2. Add chicken and cook on low for 7 hours.
3. At the 7 hour mark, remove chicken and shred. Put chicken back in crockpot. Ad the rice, corn, and cream cheese to the soup mixture and replace the lid. Cook for another 30 minutes and stir the soup, making sure to get the cream cheese is melted completely.

I served mine with cheese and tortilla chips.
