Chicken Tortilla Soup

Morning sickness is weaning. I hope I'm through with frozen meals and ready for some good home cooking! I can't look at another frozen Marie Callenders.

This meal is fast, easy, and yummy!

In your soup pot sauté for 5 minutes:

2 T olive oil
1 medium onion

Then add:

2 cups chicken (I use the rotisserie chicken from the deli)
2 cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen corn
4 oz can green chiles
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
3 cups chicken broth

Bring to a boil and lower heat to simmer for 20 minutes. The last 5 minutes add:

1 cup half and half
chopped cilantro
juice of 1 lime (or more!)

Serve with a slice of avocado, tortilla chips, shredded cheese and sour cream!

You could also dump this all into the crockpot and cook on low!

Crock Pot Pork Chops

I've been experimenting with more pork chops, and this is a good one, too. My kids liked these the best. It is one of the few recipes where I've used cream of chicken soup.

Butter a crock pot, then place:

4-5 pork chops


Mix in a bowl and pour over chops:

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1, 1/2 cup chicken broth

Cook on low for the full 8 hours.

Serve over a bed of orzo, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Applesauce Pork Chops

This recipe was so easy and yummy! The pork chops came out fork tender :)

Butter the crock pot with 2 T butter. Place 5 pork chops on bottom

Mix and pour on top:


1 can applesauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 T cinnamon

Cook on low for 8 hours

6 chicken breasts, cubed
1 bottle Lawry's 30 minute marinade Hawaiian  
1 can crushed pineapple

Cook on low for 6-8 hours

Serve over a bed of:


chopped lettuce
hot rice

mandarin oranges (I didn't have any on hand)
