Turkey/Chicken Fiesta Soup

Well, it’s a new year and it’s my first post of the year because I have been somewhat of a slacker.  I don’t even have an excuse as to why.

Raise your hand if you are pretty sure you have gone up a solid dress  size over the holidays but are too scared to get on the scale and see what the actual  damage is.

Anywho, one of my favorite things about the colder months is the food.  All the one-pot dinners, stews, soups, casseroles.  Comfort food that warms you up and keep you feeling cozy even as you  battle your way through the mounds of snow and subzero wind chills (with the exception of all you lucky southerners!).

You can make this particular soup with turkey or chicken, whatever meat you have on hand.  Give this recipe a try this winter!   The flavors are really able to shine after slow cooking.

Thank you all for the fantastic posts, comments and blog love for the past few months since my blog’s birthday back in September.  I never thought I’d have so many followers in such a short amount of time and it excites me to the max!  I’m still a work in progress over here so I really appreciate all of the support everyone has given!  May 2012  be filled with light, love, abundance and blessings.

♥ HAPPY NEW  YEAR!

INGREDIENTS:  3-4 cups leftover turkey (or chicken), chopped
1 lb of egg noodles
20 oz chicken broth
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can Rotel
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can green chilis
1 can tomato paste
1 can cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken
4 ounces of your favorite cheese, shredded  (I used white american and cubed it to help with the melting process)
Pepper, to taste
Ground Cumin, to taste
Garlic Powder, to taste

PREPARATION:

Mix all (except the noodles) in the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. All of the ingredients are cooked and just needed to be warmed through so be sure you don’t cook too long.

In the last half hour, cook the egg noodles separately on stove top, drain and mix in the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients right before serving.

Delicious!

Enjoy!

These are a few of my favorite things: cooking and baking are at the top of my list. I love tennis, hiking, running, singing, animals, Disney World, Christmas, I feel there's nothing more enchanting than Disney World at Christmas time, fireworks, weddings, watching storms, Groundhog Day, baseball is my favorite past time, and I LOVE music -especially country and 80's.
