Healthy Crock Pot Chicken Vegetable Soup

A wonderfully tasty and healthy slow cooker soup for the colder days to come that's chucked full of veggie goodness with a little extra sweetness due to white corn. Plus it's slow cooker easy.

Somewhat inspired by a cooks.com recipe with only a few minor changes. The biggest change was from the white corn that added a lot of extra sweetness.

Texas Crock Pot Chili

Texas Chili... What is it? Well it could be any chili cooked in Texas or by a Texan but the consensus seems to be a beef chili with no beans. I will go with that...

I have been home alone for 6 weeks due to a family emergency so I'm "cooking for one". Plus I'm working 12 hour days. So I'm doing my cooking in chunks with left overs for heating up in the evening. I trying to avoid the "I'm hungry and have nothing at home so let's hit the drive-thru" syndrome. This all spells "Crock Pot" to me so this blog may look like a crockpot blog for a while.

Healthy Crockpot White Bean Chili Spiced Up

You could say a lot about this chili. You could call it healthy, low fat, and low glycemic. I'm will just call it excellent.

I have always loved white bean in soups or chili and slow cooker chili fits my current life style.  It is just the right thing. One of my favorite chilies uses pepper jack cheese and salsa for spicing. I want to control the spicing and get the cheese out of the recipe.

Kick Tail Taco Soup in a Crockpot

Kick Tail Taco Soup in a Crockpot from 101 Cooking For Two
A fine slow cooker recipe for a winter or football weekend. Kick tail spicy with a ton of great taste. This is a thick soup, maybe more "taco chili" but since I used soup recipes to make it, I'll stick with soup.

Most recipes start with some burger and taco seasoning. I started with a modified version of my spicy taco meat. The main complaint about most taco soups appears to be the mild spices. I bumped it up and add a jalapeno. I added all the spices to the meat so it would retain some flavor and not have it all washed out in the soup. Excellent, just right.

Healthy Southwest Chicken Chili

I call this a dump recipe, because you dump it in and go do something else until it's done.

I'm home alone for a few days and will be working late so dinner is either drive-thru or left overs. I choose left overs and what's better to warm up then chili. We are starting a new diet and I'm going with a low glycemic diet and low fat. So some chicken, beans and lots of taste. Baked in a dutch oven for several hours for simplicity. The results, really nice.

Puerto Rican Chuletón Soup AKA Xmas Soup

Think of it as a Puerto Rican ham and bean soup. This has been somewhat a standard at our house for several years. We are the only ones calling it Christmas soup but I'm sticking with the name since that is when we usually make it.

Crockpot Southwest Pork Tenderloin Chili - A Low Fat Wonderful Thing

I have always said that pork and Mexican are made to go together. Well, I just proved it again. With only 10 minutes of prep, a crock pot and 8 hours, you can have a very healthy wonderful taste meal.

With only about 3-4 grams of fat per serving this will fit any diet. But I don't want you to think of this as a diet dish. This will blow any other chili out of the water on taste.

Freezer Burnt Chicken Tortilla Soup

One of my most popular posts is what to do with freeze burnt chicken.  I'm going to have to start a "Freezer Burnt Chicken" series at this rate because  my wife found more freezer burnt skinless boneless chicken breast this week and told me to make soup with it. We love my Tortilla soup so I buffed that up with excellent results.
