CREAM of Chicken (or turkey) soup!

This was just the BEST soup! We all started getting sick & I decided to make some soup for my daughter & I.

Use the cross blade & the larger cup...
Now I had Home canned Turkey & broth from Thanksgiving but you can use any chicken broth, water & bouillon and then use left over chicken, a chopped cook chicken breast or canned chicken. (or leftover Turkey)

I chopped about 1/4 to 1/2 carrot (chopped tiny). 1/2 thin sliver of onion... put in cup with about 2 or 3 Tbsp meat & fill 1/2 to 2/3 way up with broth. Add a pinch of poultry seasoning & salt.
Microwave till carrots are just about tender... 3 - 5 min depending on how many & how thick you cut them.

Then blend on the Bullet till creamy. Add some Heavy Cream to about 1/2 inch from the top... blend for just a few seconds (enough to blend).... enjoy!!!

Tip... you can do all this & use a blender, food processor or hand blender instead if you don't have a Magic bullet

Happy St. Patrick's Day with Corned Beef & Cabbage!

Corned Beef & Cabbage in the Crockpot!

What's more Irish than a traditional recipe for corned beef and cabbage? Serve with mustard or horseradish if desired.

http://www.apronmadness.com/

* 1 Corned beef brisket WITH the season packet ... I get the cheaper Tip that's on sale this time of year)
* Pickling Spice
* 1 bottle of a dark beer... Killians Red or Guinness is great!
* 1 head of green cabbage ... sliced
* New potatoes (either red or white is fine) quartered
a few Carrots (optional) Sliced

Place the corned beef in a colander in the sink and rinse well under cold running water. Trim off fat.

Place the corned beef in a large crockpot (slo cooker) add beer & add enough water to cover brisket. Add spice pack & another Tablespoon of pickling spice. Cover & let slow cook several hours... until meet will pull apart with 2 forks.

Take out the brisket & pull apart with 2 forks (or slice) put back in crockpot & Add the cabbage, potatoes & sliced Carrots to the cooking liquid & slow cook until the vegetables are tender.

Leftover corned beef makes great corned beef hash. Saute chopped onions in oil... add chopped corned beef & potatoes with a little of the liquid. Salt & pepper to taste. Let fry on low... chopping as you stir. Serve with poached eggs. YUMMY!
