Chunky Chicken & Veggie Soup w/ White Beans

Yay!! It's finally start to "cool off" in the desert. I know, how funny right!!!! Anyway, I LOVE SOUP! Any kind from chicken noodle to Manhattan clam chowder (except split pea, yuck!). 

Using the crock pot to make soup is totally ingenious! One pot for everything, I LOVE IT!!! So here is to the first yummy soup of the season. Cheers!!! 

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed

4 red potatoes, quartered

3 carrots, chunky chopped

1 white onion, peeled & quartered

15 oz. can of white beans

2 tsp. dry parsley

2 tsp. dry oregano

3 Tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

2 cups chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

16 oz. bag of frozen peas

16 oz. bag of frozen corn

Directions:

1. Start by slicing chicken in half lengthwise, then cut into chunky pieces.
2. In a large fry pan on medium-high heat add: oil, chicken & onions.
3. Cook until chicken is no longer pink & onions are translucent. About 15-20 minutes.
4. Next, add: potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, red pepper, parsley, oregano, & garlic.
5. Cook until potatoes & carrots are tender. About 10 minutes.
6. Now, turn off the heat and add: beans, chicken broth & soup.
7. Stir until the soup is completely mixed in.
8. Dump everything into the crock pot & turn it on low.
9. Finally, add in peas & corn. Stir & cover.
10. Let cook on low for 3-4 hours or until you are ready to eat. 

OMG!!!! Delicious!!! Serve with some really great bread. Totally awesome & it makes great leftovers.
