I got this recipe from a friend in Washington when we lived there. I love when the weather turns a little colder so I can make this recipe. I love this soup recipe. It is a nice change from the typical soup recipe and the spice seems to warm me up even more.
2 1/2 C. cooked, shredded chicken
1 11 oz. can whole kernel corn with sweet peppers, drained
1 10 3/4 oz. can cream of potato soup
1 4 oz. can diced green chilies
2 T. fresh cilantro
1/2 packet of taco seasoning
3 C. chicken broth
16 oz. sour cream
8 oz. Velveeta cheese spread with jalapenos, cubed
In a crock pot, combine chicken, corn, potato soup, undrained chili peppers, cilantro, and taco seasoning mix. Stir in broth. Cover. Cook on high heat for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours. Stir about 1 C. hot soup into bowl of sour cream. Stir sour cream mixture and cheese into the crock pot. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir until combined. Serve with tortilla chips.

Turkey pozole soup with green chilies
I saw this recipe on the Today Show yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked delicious and not like a typical soup. Matt Lauer even said later in the show that he couldn't believe how good it tasted. I will be trying this soon to try and warm up from our frigid temps.
2 pounds turkey meat cut into 1 inch cubes (Pork or chicken would also be good)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, peeled and chopped
2 red peppers, seeded and chopped
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder
2 tablespoons peeled, chopped garlic
1 15 ounce can chopped green chilies (I would use less. This seems a little too spicy)
1 cup crushed tomatoes
2 quarts chicken broth
1 28 ounce can golden or white hominy
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup chopped scallions
Sour cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pour the oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium heat. Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Add to the pot and sauté in until well-browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turkey to a bowl and set aside. Add the onions, red pepper and jalapeño to the pot and brown until golden, which takes approximately seven minutes. When the onion begins to caramelize, return the turkey to the pot, sprinkle with the cumin and Ancho chili powder, stir in the garlic, green chilies and tomatoes. Add the chicken broth plus 2 cups of water, stir and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower then heat and let the chili simmer, partially covered, for one hour. Add the hominy. Continue to cook until the turkey is tender, which takes approximately 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve with cilantro, scallions and sour cream as a topping. Makes 3 to 4 quarts.

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Every Thanksgiving when we are at my in-laws we have soup bowls and a chicken and wild rice soup. We usually buy it frozen from a local pizza place. It is expensive, but good. I decided to try making it this year. We had to feed quite a few people and so I doubled the recipe. It made a ton. The almonds in it are delicious. My mother-in-law hid the leftovers so she could have them the next day.
From Kitchen Cafe
½ cup butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
½ – 1 cup frozen corn
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup carrots, sliced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup slivered almonds
2 cups nonfat half-and-half (use normal half-and-half if you prefer, but you won’t believe how delicious this is with the nonfat variety!)
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, corn, chicken and carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add the mushrooms and sauté 3-4 more minutes. Then add flour and stir well. Over medium heat, gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring the soup just to a boil and then reduce heat to low and let simmer, while stirring, for 5-6 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
Next, add the rice, salt, curry powder, mustard powder, parsley, ground black pepper and almonds. Allow all the ingredients to heat through and then pour in the half-and-half. Let the soup gently simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The soup should not boil but should simmer over low heat so that it thickens slowly.

Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup
I don't know what my deal has been lately, but I have been really enjoying and cooking good, hearty, wholesome food. This soup was delicious! My hubby and kids tend to balk at eating veegetables, but they loved this soup! It was great for a cold day.
From Kitchen Cafe
*Serves 6
Chicken and Broth:
4 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
2-3 chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Vegetables:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 large carrots (6-7 baby carrots), chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup frozen peas
Dumplings:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or sage
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
In a large pot, boil the chicken broth, water and chicken breasts until the chicken is cooked through and tender (about 15 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving the broth in the pot, and shred the chicken with two forks. Set the chicken aside and keep the broth warm on the stove. While the chicken is boiling, in a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the celery, carrots and onions. Saute for about 6-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the vegetables to the hot broth in the pot after the chicken has been removed. Add salt, thyme and pepper to the vegetable/broth mixture and stir to combine. Heat the soup to a simmer.In a small bowl, blend ½ cup cold water and 1/4 cup flour with a wire whisk until smooth. Whisking vigorously, slowly add the flour mixture into the hot vegetables and broth and whisk until well combined. Add ½ cup frozen peas and the reserved chicken and cook, stirring gently for one minute.For the dumplings, in a medium bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, milk and oil. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined (don't overmix, it is ok if there are a few dry spots of flour here and there). Heat the soup to boiling and drop teaspoonful amounts (the dumplings should be fairly small, they'll expand while cooking) of dumpling dough into the boiling soup, covering the entire surface of the soup (don't make more than one layer of dumplings). Reduce the heat to simmering, cover and let the dumplings cook for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid of the pot while the dumplings cook. When the dumplings have cooked fully, remove the lid and gently stir the dumplings to break them apart. Serve.

Chicken Corn Chowder
It has been awhile since I posted anything that I thought was really good. I am finally starting to feel like cooking again, now that the morning sickness has started to leave. Hopefully, I can get back into the swing of things. This soup is great! I love soup, but my family aren't big soup eaters. Tonight there wasn't anything left. Port kept saying, "This is really good!" It is great for our rainy cold days lately.
From Kitchen Cafe
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, finely chopped, seeds and membrane removed (this is important for flavor - but doesn't add heat because the seeds and membranes are removed and it is cooked with the other veggies)
1/4 cup thinly sliced or cooked chopped ham
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14-oz.) cans chicken broth
3 tablespoons flour
3 ears of fresh corn kernels or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
4 oz. softened cream cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Place olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute celery, bell pepper, onion and jalapeno until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ham; cook for another 3 minutes. Whisk the broth with the flour in a liquid measuring cup or bowl and then stir into the soup. Stir in the corn and chicken. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat. Whisk together the cream cheese and milk in a large bowl until smooth (I had a difficult time getting my cream cheese to completely whisk into the milk so my soup had some minor small lumps but next time, I'll soften the cream cheese until almost melted in the microwave). Whisk the cream cheese/milk mixture into the soup along with the salt, pepper and cheddar cheese. Simmer on low until ready to serve.
