Taco Chili Soup

This past weekend, my mom and granny went shopping with me :) We had fun going to thrift and consignment shops around town. When it was time for lunch, Ed met us at a locally owned restaurant, Roseanne's. She always has lovely home cooked foods at great prices. As we were leaving, Ed spotted a sign for Taco Soup, so I figured I would give it a go.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb 91/9 ground turkey, browned
1 1.25oz packet of taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 14.5oz can Diced Chili Tomatoes (or regular diced tomatoes with some chili powder mixed in)
1 10oz can Rotel Mexican Lime and Cilantro Tomatoes.

Brown Turkey in a deep skillet. Mix in remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, cooking for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Have a bowl, top some cornbread, or dip some chips in for a yummy meal!

Depending on how you are going to serve it up:
Serves 4 at 4 PointsPlus each
Serves 8 at 2 PointsPlus each

PS and for your viewing pleasure, one of the great finds from the thrift stores :)

It's a good thing he loves me!! :)

Sweet Potato Soup

Say it Slow with me.
Sweet.Potato.Soup.
uhhuh!

It looks like baby food but tastes sooooooooo good, and it freezes well!
Original Recipe Credit goes to Sing for Your Supper

Ingredients:
3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped in to chunks
3 cups chicken broth
2.5 cups water
2 tablespoon reduced fat butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
splash lemon juice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste


In a large pot, bring the sweet potatoes, chicken broth and water to a boil. Cook for about 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are very soft. Using an immersion blender (or regular blender in 2-3 batches) puree the soup until smooth and no lumps remain. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for at least 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with some cinnamon (this MADE it for me!)

Makes:
6 servings @ 7 PPV each
7 servings @ 6 PPV each

I will be making this again. SOON! :)
