I’ve been making this recipe for awhile now and it is one of my favorites. I’ve been doing the ‘low carb’ thing pretty consistently for about a year and half now. One of my secrets is having meals/snacks ready. One of my go-to meals is soup. I love soup and its easy to make a big batch and heat up for lunch or whenever I get hungry. This Spicy Southwest Chicken Soup can be prepared on the stove top, in the crock pot, or even the instant pot. Servings: 8-10 Prep Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 2 hours Ingredients: 2…

Thanks to all everyone that came over from Amber I Am‘s blog! Her Southwestern Chicken Soup recipe has me ready to hop in the kitchen for sure! Is it cold where you are yet? Last week we finally felt the resemblance of fall weather here! Hallelujah! Although here in Alabama it basically goes from full on summer to full on winter, but regardless I’m happy for the change in temps. With that I’m ready for soups, stews, and chowders. This Chicken and Corn Chowder is one I made several years ago and I just love it and so did my…

I love when I’m scrounging around in the kitchen for something for dinner and the ingredients just fall into place. That’s what happened the other night when I was looking for something to make in the crockpot for the next day. Lately I’ve been on a quest to buy 1 new ingredient once a month to try in a recipe. I’ve had this Radiatori pasta just hanging out in the pantry for awhile. I decided to give it a try in this Hamburger Pasta Soup. Have you ever heard of it before? Servings: Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 8…

In the morning before I left for work, I threw the raw chicken (each chicken breast cut into 4 or 5 big chunks to help them cook quicker) along with the chicken broth, carrots, onions, and garlic. I allowed that to cook for about 4 hours on high. When I came home and lunch, I pulled the chicken it, which by the way was fully cooked and cut it into small bite-size pieces. Then I threw in the everything else except the zucchini and squash because I didn’t want them to get soggy. I bumped the crockpot down to low…

The other day we had some amazing steak kabobs out on the grill, so I had about 3 peppers left over. I knew I needed to use them soon, and I was wanting to do something in the crockpot. I decided to chop up the peppers and some grilled chicken that I had, throw it in the crockpot with some other ingredients and call it Stuffed Pepper Soup with Chicken. It turned out so delicious. It’s no doubt one of my favs now. Servings: 6 Prep Time: 20 minutes (cook chicken and rice) Cooking Time: 6 hours Ingredients: 3 bell…
