Souper Saturday

I decided to have a soup post every Saturday. I love soup! It goes a long way for get togethers, is usually pretty economic to make and great to freeze for a quick dinner. This one was created by my mom, so the credit goes to her. I've made it several times for our football parties with friends.

Salsa Chicken Soup

2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
4-6 cups chicken broth
1 cup mild salsa
1 can drained black beans
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup milk
1/2 box Velveeta, cut up(use coupon here for $1.00 off!)

I just put everything except velveeta and milk in and let simmer for 10 minutes or so, then I add the cheese and milk till it melts. We usually garnish with some sour cream and corn chips.

Crock pot Chicken Alfredo

Get ready for an easy and delicious recipe! This is my favorite crock pot recipe b/c of its ease of preparation. Here's how:

Crock pot Chicken Alfredo

2-3 chicken breasts, cubed
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 soup can water
8 oz cream cheese (I end up using about 2/3 of a pack and it tastes fine)
1 packet Zesty Italian Salad dressing mix
1 stick butter (here again I end up using about 2/3 of a stick of butter and it tastes fine)

Combine ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. As I'm walking by I'll give it a stir every once in a while. Cook noodles and toss with alfredo. The sauce is runny at first but thickens. It is also great left over.

Let's try this again

I had started a recipe blog a year or so ago, but did not continue b/c at that time of my life I was just too tired to keep it up. I'm hoping to post at least one recipe a week on here. I love trying new recipes, and I'll post my favorite new ones here!
