The Best Chicken and Rice Soup

April 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

This really is the best Chicken and Rice Soup Ever! At least out of all the ones I've ever tried. What makes it so over-the-top-amazing? Two things in particular. 1. Rather than buying chicken stock, we just cook a whole chicken in water and that becomes the broth. We need cooked chicken anyway for the soup, why waste the flavorful water that the chicken simmers in?? So it has a super, SUPER ...

Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Roasted Chickpeas

March 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Before I begin, I have a tip for this recipe. When you are transferring the leftovers to your Tupperwares after the soup is finished, try as hard as possible not to spill half the soup onto the counter/all over the front of your shirt and jeans and then spend 20 minutes cleaning up as your dog eats half the leftovers. Okay now that we covered that, moving on! This soup tastes as good as it looks! ...

Homemade Chicken Stock

March 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

I have been meaning to make homemade chicken stock for years now and have never quite gotten around to it. The convenience of the boxed chicken stock has always been too tempting for me and I just end up getting that instead! But if you have ever watched Ina Garten on the Food Network, you have heard her say (about 8 million times to be exact) that homemade chicken stock makes all the ...

Crock Pot Pepper Beef Stew

February 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

It has been absolutely FREEZING in Georgia this week! Well, freezing compared to the sixty degree winter we've had so far this year. I've been spoiled...spoiled bad. Next winter we will be in Kansas, and I'm pretty sure it will be nowhere near sixty degrees in February...so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can! This stew was the perfect meal to counteract the bitterly cold weather we have been ...

Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

January 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Everything about this soup is just heavenly. The soup itself is slightly spicy from the pepper flakes, a little creamy from the Greek yogurt, smoky from the roasted peppers and fire roasted tomatoes, and hearty from the pureed vegetables. It is literally perfect! And the grilled cheese croutons just give it that little extra salty, cheesy bite. I am really excited about this recipe...it has the ...

30 Minute One Pot White Chicken Chili

January 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

"This chili is way too delicious to be done in 30 minutes"...is what you would think after trying this yummy recipe. But it is true...perfect white chicken chili...one pot...thirty minutes. Bam. This chili is so easy! But the flavors are just amazing. The chili powder and cumin give it an authentic taste, and the lime just brings it to a-whole-nother level. I've never made "white" chili before ...

30 Minute One Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup

January 2, 2015 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Broccoli Cheddar Soup is one of my favorite things ever. I don't know why it's so good...I mean, broccoli is pretty good but it's not absolutely delicious or anything. But when you throw it in a soup with some cheese it become sooo yummy. Not to mention a great way to sneak some broccoli into your kids' bellies. This recipe has two whole heads of it, so it's not a small amount! This is such an ...

Crock-Pot Enchilada Soup

December 7, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This is the easiest recipe ever. It is so simple...and it tastes awesome! There are so many different toppings you can add to this soup too, avocado, black beans, tomatoes, Greek yogurt, cilantro, tortilla chips...the list goes on and on. The thing that makes this soup a little different from other Enchilada Soup recipes I have seen before is that it's nice and thick rather than broth-y. I add ...

Potato Pumpkin Soup with Bacon

November 10, 2014 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

This soup screams fall. A warm, cozy potato soup with pumpkin...what could be more fall-y? This soup makes me want to curl up in a warm blanket and sit by the fireplace. Not only is there bacon on top of the soup, but the roux (a thickener typically using a mixture of butter and flour) uses bacon fat instead of butter. Because of this, there is a delicious bacon flavor in each bite of this ...

Roasted Carrot Soup with Ginger and Thyme

September 23, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

There is a story behind this soup. I just created this blog yesterday and was SUPER eager to write my first post, but I still have one meal's worth of groceries left for this week. I make a point each week not to go to the store again after my once-a-week-grocery-visit to save money...but I really wanted to create a recipe to post on my new blog! So I compromised... This soup is a concoction ...
