Soups
What are you favorite soup recipes?
I've been trying to expand my 'foods I cook' list and need some good ideas. Lately, assuming it's because of the cool weather, I've been craving soups like crazy! Whatcha got?

Re: Soups
I was just going to ask if anyone had a good chicken tortilla soup recipe! Please share if you do!
This is not soup, but I like to cook salsa chicken in the crockpot because it is super easy and ready to eat when H gets home from work.
Salsa Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts
1 packet taco seasoning
1 C salsa (can add more if you want)
1 Can cream of chicken or cream of cheddar
Place chicken breasts in the Crockpot and pour taco seasoning over them. Combine salsa and cream of chicken (or cheddar) soup together. Pour over chicken and cover. Cook on low for 6ish hours. Can be served on top of rice. Top with shredded cheese.
I plan to make this soup very soon: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/09/roasted-vegetable-minestrone/
I also make this one a lot http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cheese-Broccoli-and-Chicken-Soup/Detail.aspx
Chicken tortilla soup
Taco soup
Creamy potato, sausage and kale soup
Baked potato soup
Do you happen to have recipes handy for the first two? Those sound right up my alley.
I second that query!
Chicken tortilla soup: Less brothy, more cheesy.
Ingredients:
1 package boneless skinless chicken breasts
Chicken broth (2 boxes, 2 cans) or use 1/2 jar of Better Than Boullion
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 C skim milk
12 oz of 2% Velveeta, cubed
1/2 of a chopped onion (I skip this)
Tsp garlic powder
Tsp chili powder
Tsp salt
Tsp black pepper
8-10 small flour tortillas
Directions:
Make 3 quarts of chicken broth. In another pot, boil chicken in water. Once cooked through, shread. Boil onion in broth until tender. Combine all ingredients (except tortillas and Velveeta). Cut tortillas into 1 inch strips and add to soup- cook for 15 minutes. Add cubed Velveeta and slowly boil until completely melted. Serve with tortilla chips for some crunch. This is a WW recipe if you use RF ingredients when possible.
Okay, that sounds heavenly. Do you substitute anything for the Velveeta? Velveeta kind of weirds me out a little bit, and I'm wondering if there is a creamy-enough cheese that would work in its place.
This IS great soup. Chicken boullion (sp) cubes gross me out, though, so I leave them out, too.
White Chili (soooo yummy!!)
1 lb boiled, shredded chicken
2 cans great northern beans
2 cans rotel (we use one hot, one regular-we like it kind of spicy)
2 cans chopped green chilies
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans green enchilada sauce
Put everything in the crockpot, keep on low for several hours. Top with crushed tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
GREAT for a chilly day
Super easy taco soup
1 5oz can chicken (I leave this out somtimes if I make it with quesadillas or something)
1 can corn with liquid
1 can pinto beans (the big can--28oz I think)
1 can fat free refried beans
2 c salsa
2 c chicken broth
Heat all in sauce pan and serve with sour cream and/or cheese
