This recipe is from my cookbook called Fix It and Forget It, feasting with your slow cooker. I love this soup…filling, delicious, and warm on a cold winter day.

1 lb. ground beef or turkey, browned and drained (I used 1/2 lb)
3 carrots, sliced (I grate mine)
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed (I leave the peel on mine)
1 small onion, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
15 oz can diced Italian tomatoes or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped
6- oz. can Italian flavored tomato paste
4- 1/2 c. water
1 qt. beef broth

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender.

NOTE: This is a great recipe to use frozen tomatoes in. I freeze most tomatoes from my garden instead of canning them and they are great for soups.

Sorry….no photo this week for the soup! I found this recipe in a magazine many years ago and have loved it ever since. It is a family favorite. Don’t let the swiss cheese worry you…it makes the soup taste fabulous! But if you don’t want to buy it use mozzarella. It still tastes great!

CHUNKY POTATO SOUP

4 medium red potatoes (abt 2 lbs), cubed
3/4 c. chopped onion
1 small carrot, chopped
1/4 c. chopped celery
1 1/2 c. chicken broth
3 Tbl butter
3 Tbl flour
2 1/2 c. milk
1 Tbl minced parsley
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 c. (4 oz) shredded Swiss cheese

In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, onion, carrot, celery and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir into potato mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add parsley, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted. Serves 7.

This is one of the easiest soups you will ever make! And delicious too. This tortilla soup is not spicy, which I am in favor of. This photo isn't the best but the soup is delicious! This is one of my favorite soups to make in the fall.

3-4 chicken breasts (I used 3)
1 clove garlic
1/2 large onion. chopped
2 Tbl butter
2- 14oz cans chicken broth
1 pkg chicken gravy
1-14 oz can tomatoes (I blended mine up)
1 cup salsa
1 Tbl. cumin
1 tsp salt

Throw everything in the crockpot and cook on low for 5-7 hours. I even used frozen chicken breasts. Easy! Take out chicken and shred, then replace back into soup. Serve with crushed chips on top, grated cheese and sour cream. Serves 6-8.
