Enchilada Soup

While deciding on a Cinco de Mayo meal, I remembered that my aunt had emailed a recipe to me a long time ago that she liked.  I was a little nervous since we're not huge fans of spicy food, but this soup was great!

Ingredients:
3 c Chicken Broth
1 1/4 c Celery
1/2 c Onion
3 c Enchilada Sauce
15 oz Pure Pumpkin
10 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 1/2 c Frozen Corn

Optional Toppings:
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Crushed Baked Tortilla Chips
Sour Cream

Chop the onion and celery.  I did this the night before so that putting together the crock pot in the morning was super easy.

Combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

I topped my soup with sour cream and tortilla chips.  It was delicious and healthy at the same time!  I would definitely make it again.  It's low in calories so you have room for a margarita!  :p

Bean Soup

I wanted to make a healthy soup to keep in the house to keep us full.  I thought a bean soup would hit the spot!

Ingredients:
8 c Chicken Broth
16-20 oz Package of 15 or 16 Dried Bean Soup Mix
14.5oz Can of Diced Tomatoes, undrained
2 c Carrots
3 Stalks of Celery
1 Large Onion
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Italian Seasoning (or 1/2 tsp Basil & 1/2 tsp Oregano)
1/2 tsp Pepper

Soak the beans in a lot of water over night.  Make sure the bowl is large so that they have room to expand.  I made that mistake before.

Chop the carrots, celery, and onion.

Combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on Low for 8 - 10 hours.  Next time I actually would cook it on high for a little while in th beginning since I prefer the beans somewhat broken down.

Dinner is served.  My husband and dad liked it a lot.  :)  I think it's a nice clean meal.  It worked out perfectly for my "No bread or white carbs Monday and Tuesdays"
