Mealtime has always been important to our family and now more than ever. I hope you enjoy our favorite go-to soups. Even better, these are easy Crockpot soups, with items you probably have on hand to make a delicious dinner your family will love.

Easy veggie soup
1 box chicken broth
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup of water
2 Lg potatoes
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
2 chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup peas
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt & pepper
1 tablespoon real butter
1 tablespoon chicken garlic Bouillon

Place all in a crockpot on low stir occasionally. I prepare in the morning, and it’s ready for dinner when we get home. Serve with warm rolls or a grilled sandwich.

(You can use whatever veggies you have on hand.) Green beans, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, etc. Make it a Minestrone by adding a kidney bean and small noodle.

 

Cheesy Potato soup

3 cans of chicken broth

1 can milk ( I use chicken broth can)  I use a little more if looks like it need a little more liquid 

5 large potatoes chopped

1 can of cheese soup

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese

1 1/2 cup chopped carrots

1 cup of chopped onions

1 cup of chopped celery

1/2 cup green onion (can add more as garnish)

1 tablespoon Pepper (or to your taste) my family likes heat!

1 tablespoon no-salt seasoning salt,

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons of dried chopped onion

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 of Wondra quick-mixing flour (save until you emulsified)

Throw all in a crockpot on High for 3-4 hours, then emulsify with a mixer, emulsifier, or meat chopper! ( I keep it pretty chunky, so I use the pampered chef meat chopper)

Add flour (important to use Wondra). It thickens without clumping! Then turn on low and let simmer another hour or until dinner time.

Garnish with more cheese and green onion, some like a dollop of sour cream! Salt and pepper again to taste:)Ps: It’s so good the next day, you’ll need to add a touch more milk to thin it out before heating up.

1 1/2 tablespoon salt seasoning

Salt & pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup flour

Salt & pepper to taste

2 cans of buttermilk can biscuits

Throw all in a crockpot on High for 3-4 hours or longer (except the biscuits) Stir every so often. Place mixture in a casserole dish (buttered or sprayed) Top with the biscuits placed tightly together. Depending on the size of your casserole dish, you could have enough for two dishes.

Easy One-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

2 14.5oz chicken broth

2 cups shredded Chicken

12oz peas & carrots (frozen)

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup finely chopped celery

2 cups of water

1 Tablespoon onion salt

1 1/2tablespoon salted seasoning

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 chicken bouillon cube

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tablespoon dill

2 handfuls noodles I like Country pasta (large bag at Costco)

I place all in my crockpot except for the noodles. And let simmer on low all day about 30 min before serving I’ll add the noodles. This soup is a rustic recipe I created years ago, and my family loves it! I’ve even substituted out some of the veggies for others I happen to have on hand.  The Dill is the secret ingredient to this soup and truly makes it!
