Day 81:Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

Original Source: Tasty Kitchen

It's not quite cool enough here and Florida to indulge on soup too often, but I had an urge for something light and easy and this fit the bill. My Guy and Teen Boy loved it. Insisted it stay in the recipe book for this winter. So, there you have it. My thoughts? Pretty good. I think adding some sausage or something next time would make it a little heartier, but it's good as is. Will definitely make it at least once this winter.

Day 70: White Chicken Chilly

Original Source: (ME) 

Please note, I created this recipe before I transitioned to veg.... However, I've since made it several times by simply omitting the chicken, adding an extra can of drained beans (or 2 if you want it less soupy)... and using Better Than Chicken NO chicken bouillon instead of chicken broth.

Since I, myself, pinned this a long time ago, I think it qualifies for Pinned Recipes! It really is one of my favorite winter dinners, and I far prefer it to most brown chilis.... I can't recommend it enough. The original recipe came from a friend years ago, but I've since tweaked it for flavor. Enjoy!

Day 66: Baked Potato Soup - Slow Cooker Style

Original Source: Mama Loves Soup

I love soup! I prefer them thick and creamy and rich, but even a broth based noodle soup makes me salivate. Sadly, I don't get it often because it's always hot here in Florida. But on a rainy, gray day this week, I decided to make one -- and what's better than one you can just throw in a crockpot in the morning so that it's ready for you at night, no slaving over a hot stove at all?

Fantaastic!!! Sorry my "done" picture isn't all that appealing, but I was so eager to dive in, I forgot to snap one with all the sexy toppings!

A note: This is great as leftovers, but extremely thick. Basically, it turns into a big bowl of mashed potatoes. So you will have to add water or milk, something to reduce it back to its soupy form.

Enjoy!
