Anyone have a good recipe for chili in the crockpot?

Chili

1lb hamburger, browned
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can light red kidney beans
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can Hormel chili with beans

Put it all together & heat. Add extra cumin or chili powder if you like. top with shredded cheese.This is a mild chili.

You can put this in a crockpot and leave it for several hours, too.

My favorite fall meal is a can of Cambells Tomato soup combined with a cup of milk and grilled cheese sandwiches. Yummy.

DH woke up this morning and told me he wants me to make sausage soup. While that sounds delicious, it's going to be 80 degrees this afternoon. Definitely NOT soup weather. I told him it's supposed to get colder over the weekend, so I'll make it then. This is a soup for which I have no recipe. A deli by our house used to make a sausage tortelini soup that was to die for. Well, the owner died of cancer and took the recipe with her. One night, I sat up thinking about her soup. The next day, I made a soup that tasted just like hers. Look at my tag, I like to make up stuff in the kitchen... I don't want any sciency stuff like recipes getting in the way.

The other soup that we enjoy in the colder months is Seafood Stew. This has a recipe, but I don't think I've ever followed it to the letter ... well, maybe the first time ... I always add a little more of this, or a little less of that ... sometimes lobster, if we have it leftover. I make this a lot on New Year's Day.

This Italian-style stew — called cioppino — makes a hearty supper. Serve it with a green salad, garlic bread and a crisp white wine.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes with added puree
2 1/2 cups bottled clam juice
1 cup dry white wine
2 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, liquid reserved
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 6-ounce can crabmeat, drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Cayenne pepper

Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano and fennel seeds and sauté until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, white wine and liquid reserved from clams. Increase heat and boil until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add clams, shrimp and crabmeat.

Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in fresh basil and simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 2 minutes longer. Season stew to taste with cayenne, salt and pepper.

Makes 4 servings.

This came from Bon Apetit magazine in a February issue (I think) in the early 90's.

Here's a link to a thread with a bunch of recipes:

Here is my latest favorite soup:

Tuscan Tomato soup

1 tsp or 1 clove minced garlic

32 oz canned diced peeled tomatoes, undrained

28 oz canned fat-free chicken broth

2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Chopped fresh parsley
Add the garlic to a hot pan until fragrant - just a few seconds. Add tomato, broth, vinegar, basil and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes on med-low heat to thicken. Garnish with parsley. If you prefer "cream-style" tomato soup, you can blend this, but the big chunks of tomato are so satisfying.

Add two pickles, and that's my DH's favorite too.

I'll have to try the Tuscan Tomato...wouldn't that be good with a provolone chese sandwich!

OK- here's my last addition. Love the flavor of the black beans and BBQ pork mixed together

Pork-and-Black Bean Soup

1 onion, chopped
2 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 c. chicken broth
3 (15 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilis (rotel)
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 lb shredded BBQ pork (the pre-packed stuff at the store works great)
2 T lime juice
Shredded Cheddar cheese and sour cream to garnish

Saute onion in hot oil in dutch oven over medium heat 7 min.; add garlic and saute 1 minute. Stir in broth and next 3 ingredients. bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 15 minutes.

Process 2 cups of bean mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth, and return to dutch oven. Stir in pork, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice and serve with cheese and sour cream on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Okay, I make Chicken Tortilla soup. My family loves it.
Bear with me, as I don't measure anything.......but you will get the idea at least.

Two cans of chicken broth. Add in several cans of water and two chicken boullion cubes (just adds more flavor).
About 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken.
3 stalks of celery chopped.
3 carrots chopped.
1 cup of corn.
Onion chopped, if you like. Yellow or white onion.
One can of diced tomato with onion.
One small can of chopped chilies.
1/3 can of chile verde (green sauce).
about a tsp of cumin.
I season with a mixture cayenne, salt, dried pepper flakes, and garlic. You could season of course to your own taste and McCormick does make good blends to use as well.
I add in fresh cilantro, yummy and smells delish!

Fry up some corn tortillas....top the soup with that and some cheddar cheese or even fresh avocado. Mmmmmmmmmm......

I cook this in a large pot on the stove or in my large crock pot.

OK, I made this last night, and it was fantastic!!! The left-overs today for lunch were even better!

Thanks for the recipe!

Soup season! Yummy, healthy, and cheap! (in case anyone else has sticker shock at the grocery lately). Plus, you can't beat the left-overs.

So, inspired by the crockpot thread, what are your favorite soups to make in the Fall?

Here is one of my favorites:

White Chicken Chili:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 c. white beans, rinsed
1 med. onion chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 t. oregano
1/2 t. salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
5 c. water

In a slow cooker, combine all the above ingredients and mix well. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours, until beans are tender. Just before serving, add in:

1 t. cumin
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chilis
1/2 t. hot pepper sauce
(don't add these before or it will take the beans longer to soften)

Serve with cornbread and a salad...Yum!

Oh my gosh, yum! I'm printing that recipe, it sounds delicious.

I love potato soup in the fall!

Here's one:

Taco Soup

Brown the ground beef and drain off fat; add onion and cook until onion is clear. Mix in ranch and taco seasonings. Add beans and tomatos. Add 1-2 cans of water, depending on how thick you want the soup. Simmer for about an hour. Serve with grated cheese and tortilla chips.

I cook chicken breasts in a skillet, let them cool, and then use a knife and fork to pull apart the meat. If you pull with the grain of the meat, it shredds fairly easily.
