Crockpot Chicken Soup

Easy yumminess! Woo-hoo!

For a crockpot recipe, I consider this one more difficult, because you can't just add it all and walk away. But it does smell good when you're home and want some!

2 cups chicken broth or bouillion
1 chicken, cooked and cut up, or leftovers cut up into small pieces
1 quart container of small potatoes, or 5-6 larger potatoes, cut into pieces
1/2 head of cabbage, cut up.
1 large package of broccoli-cauliflower-carrot mix or other frozen veggie mix.
1 can crushed tomato
salt and pepper

Put the potato and cabbage in the crockpot with the boullion. Cook on low 4 hours.
Add chicken, frozen veggies (still frozen) and tomato, and season with salt and pepper. If you cannot see any liquid, add a little water. Cook on low 3 hours or until veggies are done. If you like pasta in your soup, you can add it dry at this point as well.

Even the boys ate it.

Crockpot chili

Yumminess comes in crockpots!

You need:

A package of ground turkey, browned and drained. I like to brown it with taco mix.
1 can crushed tomato (large can)
1 can kidney beans (large can), undrained
1 can corn (small can), drained
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
pepper to taste
dash garlic powder
other herbs/seasoning to taste

Dump it all in. Mix it up.
Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally if you happen to be home.

If it is not thick enough, sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of flour before serving.
