This recipe was submitted by LaDona. I love that name by the way. I just want to say it again and again. LaDona! Anyways, thanks for the recipe! I'm glad to see someone is still checking this blog after I was such a slacker!
Ingredients:
2 Chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
1/2 onion, chopped and sauteed
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cans chicken broth
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed out well
1 can petite tomatoes with green chilies
1/2 cup salsa
Combine ingredients in pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until served. Makes about 8 good sized servings.
She likes to serve this over tortilla chips & shredded Monterrey cheese. You can also top this with sour cream & black olives or what ever sounds good. This is also delicious as left overs. Enjoy!
I've never heard of petite tomatoes, can someone enlighten me?

Chicken, Cheese and Broccoli Soup
I found this recipe in a church newsletter. It came from a friend of mine. We'll be trying it this week.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. finely chopped mushrooms
1 finely chopped onion
6 cups water
6 chicken bullion cubes (If you buy the powder bullion, I think 2 tsp=1 cube)
8 oz. angel hair pasta broken up
1 lb. cooked chicken, cubed
Cooked Broccoli (The recipe doesn't say how much, start with a cup and add more if you want. I like a lot of broccoli in soups like this.)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 lb. Velveeta cheese, cubed
6 cups milk
Saute onions and mushrooms in 2 Tbsp butter
Add water and bullion
Boil until dissolved
Add pasta
Boil for 3 minutes
Add cooked broccoli, chicken and seasonings
Add cheese and milk
Cook on low heat until cheese melts-stir frequently so it doesn't burn on the bottom

Turkey Soup
This year Thanksgiving was at our house. The first holiday we've had in our home! It was fantastic. Does anyone have a left over turkey carcass? We sure did. Our turkey was 31 pounds! Saturday afternoon was spent putting the remains to good use and here's how.
Ingredients:
Leftover turkey bones
Carrots (I like to use the big carrots, not the baby kind)
Celery
Onion
Leftover gravy
Salt and Pepper
Chicken Bouillon
Leftover turkey meat
Bag of noodles
Put the turkey in a big pot. It can have the skin and meat still on it. (Wow that sounds gross)
Add enough water to cover or a little less
Peel and cut up the carrots. They don't have to be perfect, you'll throw these away
Cut up the celery
Cut the onion
Put all veggies in the pot
Add your gravy if you have any
Put it on the stove to boil
We let our cook for well over two hours We wanted to get the full flavor
Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also use garlic powder and/or onion salt
If it isn't as strong as you would like, add chicken bouillion
In the meantime you can be slicing up new veggies
Once you have a good flavor take it off the stove
Strain the broth into another pot
Throw everything else but the broth away
Add your fresh veggies to the broth
Throw in your leftover turkey meat
This is the point where some people like to get fancy and add homemade noodles Thing is, you can buy noodles that are just like homemade I like them Whichever you choose throw them in now
Cook this until the noodles and veggies are soft
This does take a bit of work but is sure beats eating cold turkey sandwiches for a week! We made a ton of soup which I intend to freeze. My sister is going to school so I will stock her freezer as well as mine with the soup. If you do this, do NOT add the noodles. You can do everything but that. Add the noodles when you are actually going to eat it. If you freeze them they get mushy and gross.

Cream of Broccoli Soup
This recipe comes from Erin. Thanks for the recipe and I'll put you down for a second time to the drawing the month. Thanks for the recipe! I forgot to mention that this only takes about 20 minutes start to finish and her kids will eat it! That's a good thing to remember! Thanks for reminding me!
Cream of Broccoli Soup
About 5 cups of water
1 head of broccoli
3-4 chicken bouillon cubes
About 2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1/2 cup flour
1 cup cheddar cheese OR
1 can cheese whiz OR
1 cup Velveeta
Put the water, broccoli cut into small pieces, and bouillon cubes into a large pot. Boil until broccoli is cooked (about 10 minutes). Pour in the milk, turn heat down to medium and heat until the milk is warm.
In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan on medium-medium/high. Add the flour and stir it together. Let simmer while stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes. Stir butter/flour mixture into the broccoli water. Stir until somewhat thick. (Do not let it boil or if you use real cheese it will curdle.) Add the cheese, cheese whiz or Velveeta. Use white pepper and seasoning salt to taste.
Serves 6ish
This would be good in a bread bowl too. I love that!

Potato Chowder
This recipe is for clam chowder, but like I've said before, seafood is a no go around here. But if you like it, add the clams in.
Ingredients:
2 cups potatoes cubed
1 cup celery diced
1 onion diced
1 quart half and half
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Put all three veggies in a pot
Add enough water to just cover
Boil until potatoes are tender
In a sauce pan mix butter and flour to make a rue
Add half and half and mix
Put the half and half mixture in pot with veggies (Do NOT drain the water)
Add sugar and salt and pepper
We are going to put 2 cups corn in ours for a little extra. I like frozen corn the best. If you add thaw the corn first.
If you want the clams, add one can of clams with the juice.
This is thick enough that you can put it in a bread bowl. I love that! I'm just going to make rolls for this.

Taco Soup
Ingredients:

1 pkg taco seasoning
1 lb hamburger meat
Grated cheese
Brown the meat with half the taco seasoning
Combine meat, canned goods (undrained) and rest of seasoning pack into a pot

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Loaf french bread
Sliced Swiss cheese
In a large dutch oven pot, melt butter

Cook on medium heat until onions become soft
Stir the onions just to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan
Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat
Add beef broth
Season to taste with salt and pepper
Simmer and heat through around 10 minutes
Meanwhile:
Cut bread into slices
Toast under the broiler
When both sides are toasted top with a slice of Swiss cheese

Tortellini Soup
My husband made this one night. He is my inspiration for this blog. Love you!
Ingredient List: This will feed 2 adults and 2-3 children
1 bag of frozen tortellini. Ravioli also works, but then it is called ravioli soup
1 large can of tomato soup
Garlic Salt
Black pepper
Parmesan Cheese
Boil the tortellini until they float to the top
Drain
Add soup
Season with garlic salt and black pepper
Heat through
We like to stir in a lot of Parmesan cheese but you can just sprinkle in on top if you like less
Sides to go with this: Bag of salad and garlic bread
