Soup's On!

[charla]

This is my most recent soup I've made up: Chicken Noodle Soup with Dumplings http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...d.php?t=375363

I can't remember if I shared the chicken chili soup my kids and I made up using our emergency food storage. My kids loooove this soup.

Chicken Chili
(crockpot version although you can make it on the stovetop using the same method but bring to boil, cover and lower to simmer until chicken is cooked through, about an hour makes really tender, fall-apart chicken)

3 chicken breasts (I take them straight out of the freezer individually frozen solid, I hate working with raw meat )
2 cans great northern beans, undrained
2 cans pinto beans, undrained
2 cans green enchilada sauce
1 can corn, drained
1 can chicken broth
1 can rotel
Season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, chili powder and cumin.
Toppings: crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and a squeeze of lime, we've done cilantro sometimes, too, if we have it on hand

Throw it all in the crockpot (except the toppings) and set on high for about four hours. Remove chicken and dice and add back to the pot. Serve with toppings. I can get this in the crockpot in five minutes and then take another five minutes to get the toppings prepped and the soup served. I love this on busy days. And for us, we can eat this for two meals.
