CRAZY GOOD CROCK POT CHICKE TORTILLA SOUP

Crazy Good Crock Pot Chicke Tortilla Soup image

There was a little restaurant in Lewis Center, OH called Nacho Mama's that had the best chicken tortilla soup I ever tasted. When it went out of business, I had to find out how to reproduce it - once I did, I slowly improved on the recipe until I made it my own.

Time 8h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packets taco seasoning
1 large onion, diced
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
48 ounces chicken broth
1/8 cup lime juice
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel or similar)
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
cumin, to taste
chili powder, to taste
salt, to taste
1 avocado, pitted and cubed
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces shredded cheese
16 ounces fresh pico de gallo
6 ounces corn tortilla strips, deep fried
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Empty the the taco seasoning packets into a plastic bag, and place the chicken in the bag and shake to coat the chicken with the taco seasoning.
On a contact grill, grill the chicken until fully cooked, about 7 minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, saute the onion and garlic in a pan with the olive oil, until softened.
Sliced the chicken into 1/2 inch slices and place it into the crock pot along with the onions and garlic.
Place the following ingredients in the crock pot in this order: chicken broth, tomatoes, corn, and lime juice.
Add cumin, salt, and chili powder to taste. Experiment with what your preferences are, being sure to remember that the flavor will deepen and intensify as the soup cooks. In other words, the final result will be stronger, so go light on the seasonings if you don't like it spicy.
Cook on high for about 6-8 hours, or low for 10-12 hours.
To assemble the final product, in a shallow bowl, place tortilla strips on the bottom, and then spoon the soup over top. Finish with your choice of garnish, all are recommended for the best taste.

CHILI CROCKPOT OR STOVE TOP OR BOTH

Chili Crockpot or Stove Top or both image

We made this to watch NFL playoffs. It's a spicy chili so if you do not like spice then you will need to cut back on some of the spice. It came out great! It makes a lot so you can freeze them for another day as well.

Time 10h40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 lb thick bacon. i get mine from costco. cut up in small chunks
4 lb ground beef (no more than 80% lean)
4 lb kidney beans (fresh or canned). i did half and half. recipe below if you haven't soaked the fresh kidney beans overnight)
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
2 can(s) small tomatoe paste
2 med- large white onions diced
2 oz chili powder ( i used dark chili powder but regular should work too)
2 oz cayenne pepper (powder)
3-4 c water (check while cooking to make sure it doesn't boil away)
3 Tbsp heaping of better than boullion organic beef base (if you don't have this use beef broth in lieu of water and bouillion.
2 large tomatoes
2 jalepenos. (i used canned jalepenos) sliced. remove seeds if you don't want it spicy hot.
3 large garlic cloves diced
1 Tbsp heaping cumin
1 Tbsp heaping dried oregano
1 1/2 Tbsp paprika
2-3 Tbsp sugar (if you taste it and it's too spicy)
goat gouda grated (trader joes) if dairy intolerant or chedder cheese for dairy tolerant
salt to taste

Steps:

1. Chop up bacon and fry it in a 14 inch frying pan until it just begins to cook. Remove bacon but leave bacon grease in pan.
2. Brown ground beef in pan with bacon grease. Using your spatula to chop up beef while cooking.
3. Once beef is browned, add beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato pastes, onions, chili powder, beef broth (or water/bouillon) and cayenne into the crock pot. If you do not have a large crock pot, continue by using your stove top in a large pot on low heat.
4. Take the sliced jalepenos, garlic and fresh tomatoes and place into a bullet or food processor to puree. Then put into crockpot/large pot and stir. Add remaining herbs,bacon and sugar and taste. Add salt to your taste
5. If your crockpot is large enough, cook for 10 hours on low or 4-5 on high. If you are cooking stove top, then cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours and stir occasionally. If you used fresh kidney beans they may still be a little tough. But pull out your crock pot and fill it with chili. Any remaining chili place in a freezer bag and freeze it for future use in your crock pot. I cooked mine on low for 5 hours and then left in on keep warm until I was ready to serve people which was several hours later. It came out perfect! The heat of the chili gets better as it sits longer. But serve it with my cornbread as it compliments it well!
6. QUICK FRESH KIDNEY BEANS: As you know kidney beans are usually soaked over night. If you didn't do it like me, just put them in a pot of water with some salt and once the pot reaches a boil, cover the pot, turn off the stove and remove pot from burner and let it sit for no less than an hour. I let mine sit for 5 hours and I don't think it made much difference from 1 hour. Remember, it will also cook in the crock pot.

CROCK POT (OR STOVE TOP) CHILI

Crock Pot (Or Stove Top) Chili image

This chili isn't quite Cincinnati-style, but not Texas-style either. It is a yummy combo of both; not too sweet, not to chunky, just right! My husband requests it so much I can make it without thinking. It is really simple to make, easy on the budget, and you can make it in the morning and not worry about it till diner time.

Time 4h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 lbs ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans of hormel chunky chili with beans
1 (12 ounce) can hunts tomato paste
4 roma tomatoes, cut into large chunks (the small, bright red ones)
1/2 small yellow onion, finely grated
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 dash salt
2 dashes black pepper
2 dashes red peppers
1 dash garlic salt
3 dashes cinnamon (trust me, without it the chili will be too spicy)
1/2 cup hot water

Steps:

Basically just separate the ground beef so it is loose and dump all the other ingredients on top of it in the crock pot(or large pot on a burner set to low heat); mix well.
Cover and leave in crock pot on low for 6 (give or take a little is fine) hours.
If making on stove top reduce cook time to 4 hours.
I top a big bowl of this with oyster crackers and sharp cheddar cheese, but it can be served over spaghetti noodles if you prefer.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, lean ground beef, and flavorful spices to create a delicious chili.
Brown the beef: Browning the beef before adding it to the chili helps to develop its flavor and create a richer broth.
Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans add different textures and flavors to chili. Try using a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
Add vegetables: Vegetables such as onions, peppers, and tomatoes add sweetness, texture, and nutrients to chili. Sauté the vegetables until they are softened before adding them to the chili.
Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in chili. Choose a chili powder that is made with a variety of chili peppers and has a good flavor profile.
Simmer the chili for a long time: Simmering the chili for a long time allows the flavors to develop and meld together. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and crushed tortilla chips.
