RE: Healthy Crockpot Recipes - High Flavor, Low Sodium, Low Fat

Hi Friends,

Here's a soup recipe I made earlier in the month, and really liked. It was very easy to pull together, and since I haven't felt as much like cooking as of late, it was a good one to make for dinner.

I really liked it and it turned out spicier than I expected, which was a nice plus, since I love spicy foods. I'm am a huge fan of sweet potatoes, and I must say that they give a great taste to this soup.
Chicken & Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients:
3/4 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
3 small or 2 medium sweet potatoes, pared and cut into 1" cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (29 oz.) salsa-style diced tomatoes with chilies (undrained)
1 can (14.5 oz.) fat-free chicken broth
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 c. frozen corn kernels (do not thaw)
Preparation:

In 4-quart slow cooker combine chicken, sweet potatoes, onion, tomatoes, broth, oregano, and cumin; cover and cook on Low for at least 6 hours. Stir in corn; cook on High until chicken and vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes.

Have A Wonderful Week,
Phil

Hi Again,

We got that snow last night and it never ceases to upset schedules here too. Your Pork Loin recipe is a defnite have to do!! It is on my list - and that means I'll be back! Oh my, I wish I didn't love to eat!! Even more I love to cook.

Sara, you'll be seeing me some - I love this place, I always have, and I have missed you and all of my friends here. I am making a concerted effort to work my way back to being "regular".

Hugs and blessings!

Judy

Hello Everyone,

Well, it just keeps getting better and better. First Judy and Sara stop by to visit, and now Myrna stops by as well. I am truly blessed with Good Friends. It's so wonderful to see you all.

Judy, it seems that snowy weather can be a problem everywhere, but I actually believe that it's God's way of cleaning the air. At least, everything always seems fresher to me, after a good, cleansing Snowfall. Plus, it's sooooo... Beautiful and sooooo... Peaceful.

I hope that you all will keep coming back by and I'll try to keep the Recipes coming. I love my Crockpot, and even though I still prefer to cook most things the old-fashioned way, you just can't beat the convenience of getting everything together in the Pot, and knowing that it will be ready for the Family whenever everyone is back Home. For eaxample, here's a Meat and Vegetable combination tyhat can't be beat

Have A Blessed Week My Dear Friends,

Phil
