Easy Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale

November 20, 2014 by Tiffany King 8 Comments

Cheese tortellini, chicken, kale, tomatoes, garlic, onion – this soup is full of good stuff!

And it couldn’t be easier to make. Especially if you’ve got cooked chicken in the freezer ready to go.

I almost always have chicken frozen, that I’ve either cooked myself or used Costco rotisserie chicken. It’s such a time saver to have the meat ready to use. A quick minute or two in the microwave is all it takes to thaw it enough so it can be added to a soup or casserole.

Next week, I’ll have another post on using meat from a Costco rotisserie chicken (or your leftover turkey). There are so many ways to use chicken and turkey like this.

But for today, let’s talk about this soup. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Easy Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale

15 Minute Creamy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

I do a lot of recipe creation. Sometimes the recipes don’t turn out well and I never share them with you. But sometimes, I come up with a winner.

This chicken noodle soup is a winner!

First of all, it takes just 15 minutes to fix.

It’s also homemade. Okay, I’m using that term a little loose. The broth isn’t homemade. And my mom asked if the noodles were homemade (she’s hard to impress!).

But there’s no cream soups or mixes in here. And that’s what I mean by homemade.

And if you’re smart enough to make your own broth and freeze it and use chicken you’ve cooked and frozen, then it really can be homemade. (I’m not even going to talk about making the noodles though.)

I used boxed chicken broth and frozen rotisserie chicken for mine. Everyone loved it! It’s creamy, nourishing and hearty.

Chicken, Avocado, Lime and Cilantro Soup

I was sick with a terrible sinus infection. And I just wanted homemade chicken noodle soup.

The problem was that I didn’t have any of the ingredients I needed. And there was no chance I could make it to the store.

So I looked and my fridge at what I had and this is what I came up with. It was so delicious! And my whole family ate it and they said it was delicious as well. Home run!

Here’s to using what you’ve got in the pantry! This ingredient list is simple: [Read more…] about Chicken, Avocado, Lime, and Cilantro Soup

Mexican White Queso Soup

A while back, I was brainstorming ideas for new recipes. I decided to ask on Facebook, to see if anyone had ideas for recipes they’d like to see. There were a number of great responses, but Kerri S. mentioned White Queso Dip.

That was all it took, and my mind skipped onto this idea for White Queso Soup. I adapted the recipe for Cheese Soup to make it like the White Queso Dip we all love. [Read more…] about Mexican White Queso Soup

Southwestern Chicken Chowder in the Slow Cooker

November 1, 2013 by Tiffany King 4 Comments

I’m all about assembly-only cooking. And this recipe fits that description perfectly. There’s not even a need to chop anything to make this soup. You’ve got to love that!

The main ingredient is a bag of frozen O’brien potatoes. Using this means you don’t need to chop potatoes, onions or peppers, but you get the flavor of all of them.

This soup is hearty and filling. In addition to the O’brien potatoes, you’ll add chicken, corn and tomato sauce. Garlic and chili powder season it all. And the slow cooker does the work!
