The Easiest and Best Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:05:45 -0500

A friend of mine made this soup for a baby shower that I recently attended and everyone loved it! Fritos or tortilla strips and cheddar cheese are optional topping's as well as the sour cream. I like it the best with only sour cream which make it HEALTHY which is alway a major plus! You do not need to pre cook the chicken, just put it in raw OR frozen, which makes it super easy. For spicer soup, get the spicy RoTel tomatoes and/or Medium or Hot Tostitos Salsa but you will find that it has a lot of flavor and is quite spicy for not having to add any extra spices -- SO easy!! I like it the best with one jar of medium and one jar of mild tostitos salsa. -- posted by S.H.E.

Easy Vegetarian Black Bean Tortilla Soup

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:16:46 -0500

Quick, hearty soup with a bit of a kick. Can be made Vegan by omitting sour cream. Tame the spice down by substituting diced tomatoes for the Ro-Tel. I serve the soup with corn chips, but tri-colored tortilla strips add some visual appeal. I like to leave the black beans whole, but you can make it creamy by mashing the beans. -- posted by Chef #1540606

Potato Leek Soup (No Milk or Cream)

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:33:24 -0500

This soup does not have cream or milk in it like many of the ones I have seen. I got it off the internet many years ago. The recipe is credited to the Dinner Co-op. And very simple to make. I think it could also easily be converted to a slow cooker recipe. I usually double the recipe when I make it. -- posted by ~Sherry~

Uyghur Polo (Pilaf)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:53:02 -0500

Polo (a Central Asian variant on the word pilaf) is a food staple found across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and parts of northwestern China. The different peoples of each region have their own takes, and their own flavors, for the recipe. This recipe is for Uyghur polo, the variant of the dish found in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghur food is on the whole closer in taste to Indian, Persian, or Mediterranean food than it is to conventional Chinese food. I credit this recipe to my Uyghur language instructor. The recipe can be a challenge to cook correctly at first, but the challenge will prove well worth the effort because it is absolutely delicious. -- posted by mpevans

Mother's Always Right Stuffed Peppers

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:20:14 -0500

Be warned, listen to my mother- when she says to be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart, it means be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart. I broke 2 out of 3 peppers because of my lack of direction following. I had to use the broken peppers and cut them in half, laying the filling on the top. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Crock-Pot Ricotta

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:48:18 -0500

Make your own ricotta cheese in your crockpot! The acid you choose will affect the final flavor. Apple cider vinegar will give a sharper tang, a distinct odor, and a subtle golden color; this is probably best for savory applications. Lemon juice will give a subtler flavor and will not curdle as abruptly. For the cleanest, purest flavor, use distilled white vinegar. If you don't like or can't find the goat's milk, you can sub another quart of low-fat cow's milk. -- posted by DrGaellon

Swordfish (Or Halibut) With a Cumin Crust

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:04:28 -0500

This aromatic spice rub cooks to a crust, sealing in the moisture of the succulent swordfish steaks. Other firm white fish steaks, such as halibut, also work well in this recipe. Make a large batch of the spice rub and keep in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Use as a rub for chicken breasts or lamb chops. -- posted by English_Rose

Prep time doesn't include soaking time. -- posted by Mia in Germany

Ginger Butternut Squash Soup

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:23:57 -0500

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger. -- posted by Lee Hock

The Green Bell Pepper is a must for the unique taste! I always have to double this recipe though for larger crowds! -- posted by D. Rose

I've tried making them with dried herbs, but there's just no beating the flavor of fresh rosemary and thyme (you can even sneak a little fresh sage in there too, if you've got it).

Tomato and Fetta Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:07 -0500

A Greek inspired salad of fresh tomato halves, fetta cheese, olive oil and herbs. Perfect side dish for a meal, or wrapped up in a piece of flat bread it makes a great sandwich. It is absolutely essential to have good quality tomatoes for this dish. Little mini roma tomatoes are ideal, or any vine-ripened or organic fruit. -- posted by becy

Alabama Living Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:47 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local electric company magazine. We love hearty soups on the cold, damp days. This recipe fits the bill. Just place everything in the crock pot, go to work, come home to a wonderful soup. This makes a large crockpot of soup. For thicker soups you can use less broth, for thinner soups, use more. The cups measurement for the broth is up to your preference. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Wedding Punch

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:06:57 -0500

I've made this punch for several weddings, parties and showers and it always goes over well! From the 1986 Southern Living Annual Recipes. I haven't made it with champagne, but I am sure it would be delicous that way! Take time to make the ice ring; it really makes the punch perfect! If you need to make a lot of this, you can make the punch up to the point where you chill the base and instead freeze it. I've made enough for 100 people this way with good results. Also, the original recipe calls for a 28-ounce bottle of tonic water. I just always use the full 1 liter bottle. Preparation time includes a swag on how long it takes to make the ice ring. Cooking time is just the time to combine the base, ice ring and carbonated beverage. -- posted by DeniseBC

Spaghetti With Tomatoes and Capers

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:08:26 -0500

This is a recipe from the September issue of Food & Wine that I've been wanting to try. Instead of ripping out the magazine page, I thought it would be easier to post it here for the future. They suggest Italian wines made from Trebbiano grapes such as a 2008 Zenato San Benedetto Lugana or 2008 Valle Reale Vigne Nuove. -- posted by Momma de Finn

Basic Fresh Tomato Sauce

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:28:13 -0500

I discovered this sauce recipe by total accident, randomly paging through a 33 year old Sunset canning book. Once made, it is the BEST fresh tomato sauce I've ever tried or made. Well worth the time it takes to make from scratch. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Hearty Nut Bread (Abm)

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:04:18 -0500

I found this to be a light wheat bread, not sweet and not "yeasty". Very basic wheat bread. I have made it with walnuts and with pecans. . .both are good. See what you think! Recipe from the cookbook that came with my bread machine and I am supposed to put my ingredients in wet to dry. . . check your bread machine to make sure this is the order you are also supposed to follow (many do dry to wet). Recipe makes a 1 lb loaf -- posted by JanuaryBride
