Crockpot soup/stew recipe needed

[livendive 8]

It's ugly outside today...dark, cloudy, windy, and raining, i.e. perfect weather for getting drunk and eating soup at home tonight. I can run to the store and then home at lunch time and throw stuff in the crockpot, I just need a new idea. So who's got the best rainy day soup/stew recipe? It needs to require very little prep time, and please keep in mind that I am a carnivore.

Kris's Famous Chicken Enchilada Soup!
--------------------------------------------

2 10oz cans cream of chicken soup
1 10oz can enchilada sauce
1 can of milk
1 can of water
2 cans diced white chicken (cheap is really gooood because it gets all stringy)
1/2 - 3/4 of a large onion, diced.

Mix everything together in a soup pot or crock pot. In a soup pot, bring to a boil and then reduce to low and let it simmer for about 30 mins. If you crockpot it, let it go for at least 90 minutes, on low.

Serve with corn tortillas and enjoy!!!

That all sounds good except for the celery part.

I just bought a crock pot too.

TheAnvil has a crockpot, believe it or not. He even avails himself of its use every now and then.

This site has some good recipes. They've never done me wrong.

Anything that has "southernfood" in the URL is good, by definition. Thanks, Vinny.

I can only add onions (cut up in wedges) and for seasoning, i like to dump a package of Lipton dry onion soup mix. Mmmmm mmmmm goooood.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Those crockpot meals in the freezer section are pretty good, only thing is they are stingy on the meat so I always add an extra chicken breast to the pot.

Here's a recipe for NC style Pork BBQ that my friend sent me (complete with her commentary on the cooking process.... she's just *touch* neurotic). I did have the resulting BBQ and it's quite tasty.
***************

Okay, so my friend Alan is sort of religious about
North Carolina barbecue, which is what this is, and
which is apparently different from all other kinds of
barbecue. I don't know. We didn't have barbecue where
I grew up. His fervor doesn't extend, apparently, to exact
measurements, so I just had to wing it. It
worked out fine.

1 pork butt
apple cider vinegar
garlic powder
season salt
pepper
honey (at least half a honey bear if not more...I used
more)
a medium-size bottle of bbq sauce, or more if you want
more


1) Get up at the crack of dawn and wrassle the pork
butt from the refrigerator and plop it in the
crock-pot, fatty side up. Which side is the fatty side
will be all too apparent.

2) Cover the butt liberally with apple cider vinegar,
like a cup and a half at least.

3) Sprinkle garlic powder, season salt, and pepper on
top of the be-cidered butt. Again, liberally.

4) Pour at least a cup of honey over the dry spices on
top of the butt.

5) Pour half the bottle of BBQ sauce on top of the
honey.

Obviously this is going to sort of slide off and be
goopy at the bottom of the pot. Pay it no mind and set
it on low and leave it in there for at least eight
hours.

You will worry. You will check the butt. I spooned
some of the glop over it every hour or so but I don't
know how neccesary that was. I didn't think it would
EVER get fork-tender but it did, as promised.

At hour eight or nine go in there with a turkey baster
or a big spoon and try to skim off as much of the
liquid fat as you can. As Alan said, "Don't worry,
there's still plenty." Ew. After you've spooned off
the fat, pour on another cup or so of honey and the
rest of the bottle of BBQ sauce. Leave it in there,
again on low, for at least another hour.

After that hour you should be able to pull it apart
with two forks. This is sort of weird and gross but it
does happen eventually even though you think it won't.

Mix it all up so that it's uniform, plop it on some
soft rolls (or just eat it with a fork) and accept the
marriage proposals that roll in. YUM.

Hi sexy!

[sleddog 0]

Not a soup or stew recipe, but if you have another crockpot available, this is a fantastic desert!

2 cans favorite pie filling mix (Cherry, Blueberry, Peach or whatever)

1 white cake mix

1 stick butter

1 pkg chopped Pecans

Empty both cans pie filling into crock pot, pour the cake mix on top, do not stir. cut butter into pattys & place on top of the cake mix. Sprinkle Pecans on top of butter. Turn crockpot on low for two hours, serve while still warm.... I guarantee, it'll tickle your innerds! MMmmmm........

[lisamariewillbe 1]

also not a stew but good none the less

I dont know how to measure so your guess would be as good as mine. Its always a bit , a dash etc

water
red and green peppers
onions
cilantro
chopped tomato
taco seasoning
garlic

add whole chicken breasts. When they are done cooking put them on a bed of white rice with a bit of cheddar or asigo (sp?) cheese.

Did something kinda similar last night (non-crockpot).
2 chicken breast (cubed)
1 bag frozen cut okra
1 red bell pepper
3 jalapenos
3 serranos
3 yellow chili's
1 medium onion
2-3 tomatoes
Frank's Hot sauce and Tony Chachere's to taste

Fry up above mixture & serve over rice. Spicy and good.

Here, it's 'taters' but, you are correct... potatoes.

[lisamariewillbe 1]

then a beef or pork dish would be good for tonight. Im having chicken soup and stickey rice.

you can pretty much put any liquid in with meat and potatoes and let it cook long enough and it be yummy.

Lentil soup

bag of dried lentils
crushed tomato (fresh not canned)
water
carrots
celery
potato
greenbeans
LOTS of garlic and pepper
dash of franks red hot sauce

I went with a wierd one I found on one of those web pages:

Quote

INGREDIENTS:
6 bratwurst links, browned and cut into 1/2 inch slices
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup water

DIRECTIONS:
Place the bratwurst, potatoes, minced onion, green beans, red pepper, Cheddar cheese, mushroom soup and water into a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on medium for 3 hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

I guess I'll find out whether it's any good or not, it certainly sounds different. At least when I get home from work my house will smell all crock-potty.

"Crock-potty" is fun to say.
