so i kind of combined a couple of soup recipes and came up with the pot of yumminess last night...
so here is the recipe...
2 lbs chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts
(mine were from star meats. i buy ALL my meat at star's meat market on tharpe. SUPER prices and WONDERFUL fresh taste.) you could use rotisserie chicken also and skip this step.
i cut the chicken into little pieces. added a good dousing of cumin and cayenne pepper (about a tablespoon of each) and cooked it on the stovetop with a little oil in the bottom of the pot for about 10 minutes. i then took it out of the pot and kept in in a little bowl while the next few steps happened...
while the meat is cooking dice up...
2 onions
2 green peppers
some garlic
add all those fresh veggies to the pot with a little bit of oil and cook that for about 10 minutes till it looks all mushy and the onions are translucent.
now add to those veggies...
4 cups of chicken broth
2 cans white corn (drained)
2 cans rotel tomatoes (drained)
3 cans white beans (drained)
and a packet of taco seasoning.
now throw the meat back in and let it all simmer for a while.
then close to eatin' time add
12 oz cream cheese
and stir it around till it melts and melds with all the soupiness.
i served it with
grated white cheddar cheese
and a hunk of
corn bread
crumbled up in your bowl.
i would NOT have had the corn bread if i had not put the all call on facebook that i had a TON of soup. one neighbor brought some corn bread that she picked up on her way home and joined us for dinner. i would advise you to make this, invite a neighbor or two or three... and have them bring corn bread.
i also had another neighbor that was home sick with a nasty cold and her son came and picked up a couple of bowls of soup for her and her family for dinner. feeding the masses via facebook!
so the 5 of us ate this. a neighbor came over with cornbread. i sent 4 servings to my sick neighbor. and i still have some left over. a good bit left over. i would say it feeds 12-14.
enjoy...
