I have searched my hard drive for my favorite (okay - ONLY!) soup recipe but it must be on the other computer. I will try to remember to post it.
'Just wanted to thank everyone for offering up their recipes. It's still in the high 70*s, low 80*s here in FL so I'm not really "in the mood" for soup, but I am going to hunt this thread down when the temps plunge!  |

I wish I had this one in my crock right now. It's my very favorite.
Crockpot Split Pea Soup
4 C. chicken broth
2 C. split peas
2 C. water
1/2 C. each celery & onion, chopped
1/3 C. carrots, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 t. salt
1/4 t. each thyme & black pepper
1 T. parsley
smoked ham hock
2 C. milk
Put all but milk in crock, cook on Low 8 hours. One hour before serving, remove ham hock & bay leaf. Ladle about one cup at a time into blender and puree till smooth (don't do more than 1 cup -- hot liquids + blenders spell kitchen disasters and nasty burns!) Repeat until most of soup is pureed, returning each batch to crock as you go. Stir in milk and cook 1 more hour or until heated through. *you can also add diced ham or bacon at this point; I make mine with fat-free broth and skim milk
This one is from the old crockpot cookbook that came with the original (flame orange!) crocks. It's more of a chili, but so very delish.
One Pot Meal
1 lb. hamburger (I use ground turkey breast)
3/4 lb. bacon, cooked & crumbled (I use Hormel real bits, 4-6 Tbsp)
1 C. chopped onion
1 15-oz. can baked beans
2 l-lb. cans beans, drained (kidney, black, whatever kind you like)
1 C. ketchup
1/4 C. brown sugar
1 T. liquid smoke
3 T. white vinegar
1 t. salt
Brown beef and onions in skillet. Add that and all the rest to the crock; stir well. Cook on Low 4-6 hours. YUM. | |

I just wanted to thank Lauren for sharing that recipe. I made it yesterday with ground beef (browned it first) and it was yummy! We had freezing cold rain and a band Holiday concert. Boy did it hit the spot when we got home.

Taco Soup:
1 lb ground turkey ( I usually do 99% ff)
2 cans Rotel
2 can corn niblets
1 can pinto beans
1 can black beans
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch dressing
1 cup water
in a pot brown the ground turkey and drain any excess grease
open all cans and add (do NOT drain) to turkey
add seasonings and water stir really well.
Bring to a boil and it is ready to eat
If you are doing Weight Watchers it is 2 points per 8 oz. This is so good and a great alternative to chili.

I am making soup right now. It is a spin off on this bean and barley slow cooker soup . I am leaving out the things I don't like (celery ); adjusting things to make it easier (like using canned beans ); adding some left overs (corn cut off the cob; and roasted potatoes pureed with some heavy cream ). Oh, and I'm not using the slow cooker but cooking it on the stove. I just tasted it and it is delish!
I'm making grilled cheese and ham/cheese sandwiches to go with it and serving a fruit salad for dessert.

Marking my spot ... there are some great recipes on this thread.
A friend of mine used to make chicken corn soup. It was just chicken breasts, corn and chopped onions. (You cut the chicken breasts into chunks after the chicken cooks through). It makes a light clear soup with a really good flavor. The only seasonings were salt and pepper. |

I have been making things from this great site:
http://www.skinnytaste.com/
Tomorrow we are doing Barbacoa Beef
I made this in my pressure cooker which cut down the cooking time by half but you can use a regular pot or slow cooker. One thing I should mention, I used four chipotle peppers and it was very spicy, so use your judgment on how much to use depending on how spicy you like your food. I served this over cilantro lime rice with corn salsa. These would also make great beef tacos or burrito bowls. Enjoy!!
Barbacoa Beef
Servings: 9 • Serving Size: 4 oz • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 161.4 • Fat: 5.0g • Protein: 24.9 g • Carb: 2.8 g • Fiber: 0.7 g
3 lbs beef eye of round or bottom round roast, all fat trimmed
5 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion
1/2 lime, juice
2-4 chiptoles in adobo sauce (to taste)
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp ground cloves
salt and pepper
3 bay leaves
1 tsp oil
1 cup water
Place garlic, onion, lime juice, cumin, oregano, chiptoles, cloves in a blender.
Trim all fat off meat, cut into 4 inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper and brown on high heat in 1 tsp oil. Add liquefied spices, water, bay leaves and simmer on low two hours in a pressure cooker. (If you are making this in a regular pot, you will have to double the cooking time to at least 4 hours or more, covered on low flame and add more water from time to time to make sure it doesn't dry out.)
Once cooked and the meat is tender, remove the meat and place in a dish. Shred it with two forks, and reserve the liquid for later (discard the bay leaf). Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust salt and cumin (you may need to add more) to taste and add some of the reserved liquid back. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes to let the flavors penetrate. |

1 cup mafalda pasta or 1 cup campenelle pasta

1 cup provolone cheese or 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (for garnish)
4 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil (for garnish)
Directions:

This is my favorite soup ever:
http://chicken.betterrecipes.com/tortellini-soup-with-mini-chicken-meatballs.html
When I made it, the meatball recipe made SO much, that I ended up putting just half the meatballs in the soup. The rest I baked in the oven and just ate them - they were SOOOO good.
I think though next time I may just use regular pasta instead of the tortellini - simply because the tortellini absorbs so much liquid that they become mushy when reheating the leftovers. Or, cook it seperate and add it to the bowls as I dish it out. Either way, it's a really yummy soup!
All these recipes sound SOOOO good. I only wish my entire family wasn't so dang picky. Plain old chicken noodle soup is the only thing they will eat. grrrrr. |

Great thread! I love soup.
Here are a couple that I really like:
Another pea posted this recipe on a Pinterest thread I believe. Love this, and I'm sorry I don't remember who posted about it to give credit.
Broccoli Cheese Soup
This one is so easy and so tasty and although vegetarian I have made it with chicken broth and added chicken as well. I usually used diced tomatoes rather than crushed. I always keep the ingredients handy for this as it can be ready in a very short time.

Lauren (re: OP) I do the exact same thing too. I will make a big pot of soup and eat it for 4 or 5 days, until it is gone. There is usually only me here, and since it is something that I like, all I do is microwave it and dinner ! works for me.
My favorite is - ground beef, head of cabbage, canned tomatoes, onion and whatever else I have on hand. |
