Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

1-3 lbs. Chicken
2 qts. Water

Boil chicken in water until tender. Remove, cool, and shred chicken.

1 1/2  C Wild Rice (I use 2 boxes of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice)
1 Onion, diced
2 cans chicken broth, or bouillon with 4 cups water

Cook together, covered until rice is done and moisture is absorbed.

3 ribs celery, chopped
3 carrots,grated or chopped small
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. Flour
8 c. Chicken Broth
3-4 c. Half & Half
A few teaspoons of chicken base(like bouillon, it's creamy and comes in a jar)

Saute veggies in butter until tender. Gradually stir in flour and cook over low heat for a few minutes. Gradually add the chicken broth, Cook until thickened. Add the rice and the onion and salt & pepper to taste. Stir in half & half. Add chicken. If it is too thick you can always add milk. You can also add chicken soup base (it really makes this recipe tasty!!) to the soup and it makes it even better, I always do this. Add to taste. If you use the base, use less salt.

Creamy Tortilla Soup

7 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
 
2 tsp. Chicken Bouillon                                                          

2 c. water                                

1 c. salsa                                 
         
2 cans diced tomatoes
                          
2 tsp. lime juice
                                     
2 Tbl. chopped fresh Cilantro

1 can of Corn, drained

2 tsp. Minced Garlic

2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup

1 C. chopped Red Pepper

2 cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed

4 tsp. Cumin


 Cook chicken.  While chicken is cooking place bouillon, water, salsa
tomatoes, lime juice, garlic, cream of chicken soup, red pepper, cumin
and black beans in crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hrs. Add
shredded chicken, cilantro, and corn.  Cover and cook for 30 min.  You
can serve with shredded cheese and tortilla strips if you want.

 Just a couple of things I did a little different.  I cooked the chicken in the
crock pot with 1c. chicken broth.  It made it really soft.  So you could do
that the night before on low 6hrs.  I took out the chicken and drained the
juices through a strainer and used the juice for the water in the recipe. I
used 1 large red pepper and 3 large cloves of garlic instead of being exact
on the measurements.

Melony's Great Green Chili

8 cups Fat-free chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
2lb chicken breast
2 pkg Knorr Roasted Chicken Gravy Mix ( you can buy the Knorr brand at Harmon's)
3 - 7 ounce cans mild diced green chili's
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup tsp ground cumin
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 - 28oz can white hominy, drained
8 - 6 inch flour tortillas
1 tomato
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

In a large pot combine onions, chicken broth, and chicken breasts.  Heat to boiling over high heat.  Then reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.  Remove chicken from the broth and set aside to cool.

Use a whisk to blend gravy mix into the broth.  Add chili's, garlic, cilantro, cumin, jalapenos, and hominy.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat to low.

Shred the cooked chicken and add it back into the broth. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.

Serve with sour cream, diced tomatoes and a warm tortilla for dipping!

PS...I usually chop the cilantro and peppers in my food processor so they are very finely chopped!  Enjoy!
