Soup

[Lindsey]

Hamburger Soup

3 lbs ground beef
2 onions chopped
796mL diced tomato
2 envelopes (~2tbsp) beef bouillon
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups sliced carrots
1/2 cup barley
1 tsp thyme (optional... my mom doesn't use it)
2 tbsp parsley
4 bay leaves
2-3 cans tomato soup

Brown ground beef. Add all other ingredients with enough water to more than cover it all (barley will soak up a lot). Bring to a boil, and then cook on low for about 3 hours.

Buffalo meat sliders are bison meat ground into little patties on little rolls - tiny burgers - don't know why they're called sliders.

I had a yummy split pea soup for lunch yesterday from the cafe in my office building. It's not one of my favorites, but it was good a dreary first day of Autumn.

This is a great stew in the New Mexico tradition of cooking with green chiles. You can get green chiles in the canned goods section of the grocery store - they are usually the tiny little cans that are near the salsa. Some of you will be able to find the frozen Bueno green chiles.

Green Chile Stew
Oil
2 lbs of chicken - chopped
2 medium potatoes, diced
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic - chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
4-6 cups water - can use 1/2 chicken broth
18 oz. chopped green chiles - use mild or hot, whichever you prefer
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste

Heat oil in dutch oven. Add chicken, potato and onion. Brown slightly. Add garlic and cumin and stir for one minute. Then add water/chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add chiles and reduce to simmer. Simmer about an hour, longer if you want. It will taste better the next day. Serve with corn tortillas on the side.

I prefer beef or hamburger in my chili - but this is a lower fat alternative that is pretty good.


Chicken Chili
12 oz. boned/skinned chicken breasts diced
1 envelope chili seasoning
1 quart canned tomatoes
15 canned corn, undrained
15 oz canned kidney beans, drained
1 green pepper and 1 onion chopped
1/2 cup salsa

Sear chicken in non stick spray. Add to crockpot with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

I know, I just adore it - but can't eat much due to calories - but a cup now and then is heavenly!!!
