I have a couple of suggestions.....

Chicken Chili from Ina
Prep Time:
15 min
Inactive Prep Time:
hr min
Cook Time:
1 hr 45 min
Level:
Easy
Serves:
6 servings
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
1/8 cup good olive oil, plus extra for chicken
1/8 cup minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes in puree, undrained
1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
4 split chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
Chopped onions, corn chips, grated cheddar, sour cream
Cook the onions in the oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand or in batches in a food processor fitted with a steel blade (pulse 6 to 8 times). Add to the pot with the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Let cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. Add to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving.

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Place in crockpot 2 or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. You can easily skip the sour cream and cheese.

Without draining anything, combine in bowl:

2 (15oz) cans black beans
1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce
2 (15 oz) cans Mexican stewed tomatoes (or Rotel)
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies
1 cup salsa, your preference as to strength

Pour over chicken and cook on low 8 hours.

Just before serving, remove chicken, shred it, and stir it back into the soup.

Stir in:
1 can Niblets corn

Heat just long enough to get corn and chicken hot.

Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. Or put the chips in the bowl first and ladle soup on top. Either way, YUMMY and so easy!

I love, love, love short ribs. This is a rich dish, so a little goes a long way. I serve them in a bowl-y plate on top of mashed potatoes to which I've also mashed celery root It's a fatty cut and can be prepared the day before so the fat can harden and be easily removed. Great, easy dish. Braised Short Ribs of Beef 3 T. Flour 2 t. Salt Pepper, to taste 2 t. Rosemary 4 lbs. Beef short ribs, rinsed and dried Vegetable oil 1 C. Chopped onions 3/4 Cup Chopped celery 2 C. Chicken stock - boiling (can substitute chicken broth) Preheat oven to 300°. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Dredge ribs in seasoned flour. In skillet, heat 2 T. oil and add onions and celery, sauté for 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to heavy Dutch oven with lid. Add 2 T. oil to skillet and brown ribs on all sides. Add extra oil as needed. Transfer ribs to Dutch oven. Add boiling chicken stock to ribs and cover tightly. *Bake 3 hours. Skim off excess fat and reduce gravy until thickened. *Alternatively: Simmer ribs slowly on stove top. Notes: Can cook one day ahead, chill, and remove fat layer from gravy. Heat slowly for 45 minutes before serving. Serving Ideas: Wonderful served over mashed celery root, mashed potatoes, or wild mushroom risotto. ====================================== Red Wine Braised Ox Tails 2 750 ml Bottles Dry red wine 12 large oxtail pieces (about 6 pounds total) 1/2 stick unsalted butter (1/4 cup) 5 shallots 5 garlic cloves 2 medium carrots 2 medium leeks (white parts only) 1 medium onion 2 celery ribs 3 fresh thyme sprigs 3 bay leaves 1 bunch parsley stems 4 Cups Chicken broth Preheat oven to 325°F.

Tonight's Dinner Party, My French Onion Soup . . . and Swim Goggles!

Comments (26)
LynnNM, I made onion soup with your recipe and served it at a dinner party last night. It got rave reviews all around. I didn't need swim goggles. My 44 year old Oster Regency mixer/blender/food processor/meat grinder quickly cut the onions into perfect thin slices. Not a tear was shed. Thanks for the recipe. In return here is another soup recipe that I make that everyone loves Ina Garten’s Winter Minestrone Soup Ingredients: Good olive oil 4 ounces pancetta, ½-inch-diced 1½ cups chopped yellow onions 2 cups (½-inch) diced carrots (3 carrots) 2 cups (½-inch) diced celery (3 stalks) 2½ cups (½-inch) diced peeled butternut squash 1½ tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves) 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 26 ounces canned or boxed chopped tomatoes, such as Pomi 6 to 8 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade 1 bay leaf Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 2 cups cooked small pasta, such as tubetti 8 to 10 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves 1/2 cup good dry white wine 2 tablespoons store-bought pesto Garlic Bruschetta (see recipe) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven. Add the pancetta and cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add the onions, carrots, celery, squash, garlic, and thyme and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the tomatoes, 6 cups of the chicken stock, the bay leaf, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1-1/2 teaspoons pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Discard the bay leaf. Add the beans and cooked pasta and heat through. The soup should be quite thick but if it’s too thick, add more chicken stock. Just before serving, reheat the soup, add the spinach, and toss with 2 big spoons (like tossing a salad). Cook just until the leaves are wilted. Stir in the white wine and pesto. Depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock, add another teaspoon or two of salt to taste. Serve large shallow bowls of soup with a bruschetta on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and serve hot. Garlic Bruschetta 1 baguette Good olive oil 1 garlic clove, cut in half lengthwise Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Slice the baguette at a 45-degree angle in 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and bake for 6 minutes, until lightly toasted. Take the slices out of the oven and rub the surface of each one with the cut clove of garlic. Here it is as a work in progress from when I made it in November This picture is from Ina Garten's website

Suzieque, this recipe from Ina G is pretty much what I do. You're basically just making chicken cutlets. The vinaigrette is really simple but nice with the chicken. You can use any vinaigrette you like. I've served the chicken both on or under the salad. Some good bread alongside and you're set. I often cut the breasts in half, depending on their size. Also, if it helps, you can cook them in advance and hold in a warm oven...200-225 degrees. Parmesan Chicken (Serves 4-6) 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 eggs 1 tablespoon water 1 1/4 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving Butter Olive oil Salad greens of choice for 6, washed and spun dry 1 recipe Lemon Vinaigrette, recipe follows Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/4-inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts. Toss the salad greens with lemon vinaigrette. Place a mound of salad on each hot chicken breast. Serve with extra grated Parmesan. Lemon Vinaigrette: 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons) 1/2 cup good olive oil 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Note: I use less oil...about 1/3 cup. I also add a little minced garlic and dab of Dijon mustard.

My Favorite is Marilyn's Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup. But if you need dairy free, this one is good, too. Just skip the crema topping. I made this for last year's soup party and it was a hit.

EmerilÂs Favorite Tortilla Soup
Emeril LaGasse 2004

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoons chopped garlic

Here is a tortilla soup I worked out trying to recreate a soup we used to serve at the restaurant years after I'd quit. I don't usually put meat in it, but there isn't any reason why you couldn't add precooked chicken or any other kind of meat to it once you've pureed the other ingredients. It is very tasty, healthy and a forgiving recipe to boot, in terms of ingredient proportions.

RachelÂs Tortilla Soup

1 small yellow onion (about 1 1/3 c diced)
1 c diced celery
1 small carrot, diced (1/3 cup)
12 oz jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and choppedÂor about 1 1/2 average sized red bell peppers, freshly roasted, peeled, de-seeded and chopped.
4 large cloves garlic, smashed
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 t dry oregano
1 t dry basil
1/4 t dry thyme
3/4 t ground black pepper + cayenne to taste (optional)
2 c chicken stock
2 c beef stock
3 corn tortillasÂthe smaller ones, about 5-6 inch round, chopped.
3 more corn tortillas, sliced in 1/8" X 2" strips and deep fried until crispy.

Saute the onion, celery and carrot in about 2 T fatÂbacon fat, veg. Oil, olive oil, chicken fat, whatever floats your boat.
When the veggies are limp, and the onion is just starting to brown a bit, add the herbs and garlic and saute for a few more minutes until the herbs and garlic release their fragrance. Then add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are all tender.
Puree the soup with a stick blender, or regular blender. Simmer on low for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust for seasoning, adding a bit of water if the soup has boiled down too much and serve with the deep fried tortilla strips as a generous garnish.
This is a thick soup, thicker than most cream soups but without the calories cream adds. You can even bake your tortilla strips if you are trying to be very good, and dry saute your vegetables over a low fire, though it takes longer.

See what you all have done? This thread got me hungry for tortilla soup, and I have leftover shredded turkey in the freezer from T-day.

So tonight's dinner will be Creamy Tortilla Soup and cheese quesadillas.

If i get a decent one, I'll post a pic on WFD.

Marilyn's is my favorite too, Linda - even though I'm late to this topic since you wanted this for Saturday night, Loves2cook, that has never stopped me from talking about a recipe or posting it, LOL, maybe somebody else will read it and get a craving! (This is not dairy free either.)

Marilyn's Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup - 2/08
1 whole chicken breast cut in two
1 teaspoon southwest seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion; chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes with chilies
1/2 cup instant corn masa mix (used to make tortillas)
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese-optional
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
juice from 1/2 fresh lime
1 cup diced, seeded Roma tomatoes or salsa
Sour cream for garnish

Season chicken with southwest seasoning and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add chicken, cooking for 4 minutes on each side turning once. Remove chicken to cutting board and set aside. Add onions to the saucepan and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic to pot until fragrant then add tomatoes. Place corn masa mix in a jar with a tight fitting lid along with broth and shake until well combined; add to soup along with spices. Bring to a boil while stirring until thickened. Remove from heat; allow to cool for 5 minutes before pureeing soup base in batches in a blender until smooth, return soup to pot.
Cut chicken into small chunks and add to pureed soup in pot. Stir in corn and cream and return to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle in cheese and cilantro; stir to melt cheese. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. *Recipe inspired by Turkey Tortilla Soup from Cuisine at Home magazine.

I thought about posting that recipe but since she was asking for dairy free, I didn't. I am glad you added it, Woodie!

I have a pot of it simmering on my stove right now. Used turkey instead of chicken as well as freshly made turkey broth from the carcass I tossed in the freezer after T-day dinner.

Found some cornbread in the small freezer that I forgot I put in there, sothat is thawing as a side instead of the original plan of quesadillsa.

Smells heavenly in my kitchen!

Thanks so much everyone. I didn't have a chance before now to reply as I am swamped at work.

Ended up making Marliyn's, which I found on another post over here (but Thanks woodie for reposting it here), just leaving out the cream and cheeses and it really was great.

Well worth it.

Yep, we had it tonight....cream and all! LOL

Isn't it good? I had a former co-worker stop by after work. I fed her some and she loved it so much I sent a bowl of it home for her husband!

Good stuff, Maynard!
