Potato Soup



A great way to get your veggies!!!





5-6 medium potatoes cubed
1-2 cans chicken broth-- depends on how much you want to make
2 carrots  small chunks
2 stalks of celery
1/2 onion
Generous amount (1-2 tbsp) of Mrs. Dash Onion and Herbs 
Add salt to taste ( I like 1/2 tsp, the Mrs. Dash gives lots of flavor and no sodium)
1 cup cubed ham- cut in to small chunks or get pre-cubed ham
Two cups of regular milk (can add more milk to make soup more liquid)
One can carnation milk (DON'T put this in until potatoes are almost done it should not boil)
1/2- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (any cheese will do though) add after veggies are done
cook (slight boil) the potatoes and all ingredients in the chicken broth and a small amount of water for 15-20 minutes then add milk.
After adding milk let simmer for another 30-45 minutes you be the judge

I cooked this in the crock pot too.  Follow the same instructions, except mix all in the crock pot on high for about 4 hours or until veggies are done, add the condensed milk and cheese


This soup is so flavorful and great with croissants or beer bread!

Enjoy!

Salsa Chili

This is my new favorite way to make chili.  It's a little sweeter and chunkier than regular chili, and like all chili's easy to make in the crock pot!



1 pound of ground meat (we prefer deer) but you can use beef or turkey
1 pk cocktail weenies
1 chili seasoning pack
1/4c water
(2) 15 oz  cans of chili beans
(1) 15oz can of petite diced tomatoes
15-20oz of your favorite salsa- I prefer fresh salsa, either homemade or salsa you can buy in the produce aisle
Mrs. Dash Chili seasoning
1/2 tbsp sugar

To Garnish
-Sour Cream
-Cheddar Cheese
-Crackers
-Diced onions


Brown the meat in a skillet and drain.  Cut the cocktail weenies in half and add to skillet, stir in chili seasoning packet with 1/4 c water, cook until simmer stirring constantly.  In the crock pot add, chili beans, tomatoes and salsa.  Add the meat from skillet.  Season to taste with Mrs. Dash (how spicy do you want it?)  and add sugar.  Turn crock pot on low and let sit for 4 hours or High and let sit for 1 hour.
Garnish with your favorites and enjoy!
