Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

I love a good homemade chicken noodle soup, and I like an easy one even more, so this is my favorite chicken noodle soup recipe right now. It's made in the crock pot and is so convenient and also delicious! Here's the recipe:

CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
INGREDIENTS
  • 2-3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup frozen corn or 1 can
  • 2 cups frozen peas or 2 cans
  • 2 carrots- chopped
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tsp season salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp minced onions
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine everything but the egg noodles & half & half in crock pot & cook on high 4 hours or on low 6 hours
  2. Add in noodles, cover & cook an additional 30 minutes
  3. Remove chicken & shred- return to pot
  4. Stir in half & half & serve


I used the frozen peas and corn instead of the canned ones. And I really liked it! Even my husband, who's not a huge "soup guy," ;-) liked it. Enjoy it with some good bread!

Green Chile Burritos

So this is a recipe that not everyone can make because its special ingredient - 505 Green Chile Sauce, apparently isn't sold everywhere in the country. My Walmart sells it in the Hispanic food section, and I've heard it can also be bought at Costco sometimes? (Apparently it's also at Fry's, for those who live in AZ.) Anyway, if you have access to it, make these. SO GOOD! And 505 Green Chile Sauce - oh my goodness YUM. Here's the recipe:

Green Chile Burros Recipe
 
Ingredients
  • 1 chuck roast
  • 1 TB Italian Dressing Dry Mix
  • 1 TB Hidden Valley Dry Mix
  • 1 TB Brown Gravy Dry Mix
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 - 2 cups 505 Green Chile Sauce
  • Tortillas (we prefer the uncooked store bought tortillas)
Instructions
  1. Mix Brown Gravy Dry Mix, Hidden Valley Dry Mix and Italian Dressing Dry Mix together.
  2. Place chuck roast in your crock pot. Pour ⅓ cup water over your roast. Sprinkle Mix all over the top of your roast. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or until tender.
  3. Once Roast is slightly warm, shred it.
  4. Place meat back in the crock pot or in a pan. Add your green chile sauce and cook until your sauce is warm.
  5. Serve on warm tortillas. ENJOY!

I used the uncooked store bought tortillas for these, and holy delicious. I can't believe I've never tried this sauce until now. I'm hooked! Try these for a super easy and tasty meal.
