We had the YUMMIEST soup tonight - the recipe is one I copied last year from here - it was posted by Sallyanne and wow was it ever good!!! I hope some of you will try it. It is like a spicy bean soup and just fabulous!! We had it with a pan of cornbread.

White Chili - Sasvermont

2 medium onions
4-6 chicken breast halves
1 T. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 4oz. cans green chilies chopped
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 ½ tsp. dried oregano crumbled
¼ tsp. cayenne red pepper
4 16 oz. cans white beans with juice
4 cups of chicken broth
12 oz. Monterey Jack cheese

Place chicken in cold water, bring to simmer until tender (15 mins.) Drain and cool and chop! Heat oil in same pan, medium high heat. Add onions, sauté 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, chilies, cumin, oregano and red pepper – sauté 2 minutes. Add undrained beans and chicken broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, add chicken until heated. Remove from heat. Add cheese, stir to melt and serve. And the best part – add a dollop of sour cream!

That recipe for white chili sounds really good I will try it for sure.

Today we were going to be gone all day so I put a bag and a half of white beans in the crockpot after soaking them all night. I put some salt pepper and dried thyme in with them and 2 hamhocks and let it all go on low about 9 hours, it was yummy,,,I am sure ham hocks aren't the healthies thing in the world though.

I made a very simple veggie soup last night.


Veggie soup.

2 quarts of water.
2 bullion cubes-any flavor will to- I used shrimp.
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 stalks of celery, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 cup of green beans.
1 tsp basil
salt and pepper to taste.

Put the bullion cubes and water on to heat.

Chop and add the veggies.

Cook for about 45 minutes to one hour on low heat.

I did add rice to the mix towards the end. 1/2 cup if you like- you could add a hand full on noodles?

Its getting close to soup time again, there is a definite nip in the air. I think I am going to put some ham hocks and white beans in the crock pot soon.

I just love soup and try to have some in the house at all times. The stuff in cans has too much salt.
Years ago hubby and I had a pepper soup made with red, yellow and green peppers. There was no cheese in the recipe and the peppers where not cooked to a pulp. It was a bit creamy. The resturant has closed since. Does anyone have a recipe for pepper soup? I have tons in my garden now.

Mulligatawny Soup was a soup name I heard on Seinfeld but never knew what kind it was.
