Fresh n'Fast Chicken Tortilla Soup

Come join Soup-a-Palooza with TidyMom and Dine and Dish sponsored by Bush’s Beans, Hip Hostess, Pillsbury and Westminster Crackers.

This recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup is one that we have adapted from several recipes over the years.  We were looking for one that used as many fresh ingredients as possible and that was thickened naturally by pureeing the beans in lieu of using a thickening agent such as powder.  ALSO I am not a fan of bell peppers or corn in my soups/chowders...but you could certainly add them if you are ;)

Quick & Easy Leftovers in My New LeCreuset Pan

Woo Hoo!  I received my new LeCreuset Pan this week and I don't have a regular recipe to share with you all today for Foodie Friday...but I did want to show you all how having a great pan makes all your food preparations Quick & Easy!

 

One of my DH favorite things is just a plain ole hamburger...but I like to have a little more garnish on my burgers and prefer them without a bun ;)  So first things first...saute a few mushrooms...yum...
