i've never put rice in my soup... good to know it sucks up all the broth!

[KarenInTucson]

I was copying the soup we get at our local Mexico City style restaurant.  Guess the add the rice shortly before serving!!  Karen

[Pat]

i'm going to be making some soup this week. I think I'll even try my own chicken stock.. any of you do that?

[TheaM1]

I made this yesterday and it turned out terrific - the hardest part was washing & chopping the potatoes - you could use either 2 cups chicken stock OR 2 cups of water or veggie broth in this recipe for CORN CHOWDER:

toss the following into the crockpot early in the day:

3 cans of creamed corn
3 large potatoes, cut into cubes
1/2 cup of ham cubes (or any leftover ham)
1 onion, also chopped up
2 cups of chicken stock (or water)
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
2 dashes of paprika

stir together & turn on crockpot to high - I check occasionally since corn tends to stick to the sides, so I stir it a couple of times during the day - once potatoes start to cook, I turn the crockpot to low until suppertime, add 1 cup half & half just before serving.  great with crusty bread. 

NOTE:  If you are on a low-sodium diet, omit the ham and use chicken instead.

yum yum that is what I made  a week ago!! I think Karen was looking for this.. makes me hungry!

Came home tonight at 8 after seeing clients, getting a hair cut, Dr.'s visit for a bum leg. DH had a delish crockpot pot roast beast, potatoes, carrots (did you know they are in the toep 7 CA fighting foods) and mushrooms in thick gravy. YUM.

[Pat]

wow.. you know I'm not sure I EVER made pot roast!

[Becca]

It's funny you should ask.  I just got my crock pot out today and used my new recipe book (Fix It And Forget It - Best of 2009) and made a delicious cranberry chicken.  It was really moist and tender. 

[Pat]

Did the cranberries turn it pink? Just curious!

[oldcottontop]

Hey Pat...love those crock pot recipes.  Hadn't used my crock pot in a while but drug it out a tried some of them....yummmmm.

Would like to comment on the Jambalaya recipe.  Since I am from Louisiana, the Jambalaya Capital of the World, I feel I can make this comment...Jambalaya is always made with rice in it.  Gumbo is served over rice.

Hi Linda,
thanks so much for sorting that out for me - I'm always wanted to visit New Orleans, but still have not made it there - hoping to visit next year and have some really AUTHENTIC Jambalaya!

I was in Albuquerque last week, and I ate Green Chile every single day!  I lived in New Mexico for a long time, and there is just no New Mexico style Green Chile anywhere.

Does anyone have any recipes?  I live in North Carolina now, so it has to be something I can buy that is canned.  My Mom always froze her chile and kept it in her chile freezer--yes, she had one just for chile.  Oh oh, gotta go get a napkin.  I think I'm gonna start drooling...

Today, CORN CHOWDER, was in my crockpot.  It was the recipe posted by TheaM1, and I really enjoyed the finished product!  Thanks, TheaM1.

I am slicing up 3 lbs of onions to go into the crock pot for a day.  After they carmelize, they make the best base for onion soup.

[Pat]

never thought of using the crock pot to caramelize onions.. cool!
