Can you sense it? Fall is coming and to me that means that it is SOUP season! I love the warmth and the comfort that soup can bring to your home. It makes you feel like curling up on the couch with a blanket and a good book! Anyone with me on this???
Today, I want to share with you a quick and easy couple of soup recipes. The best part is that the first one is just 5 ingredients and then next one uses the first soup's leftovers and just adds in 2 more ingredients for a whole different flavor! And even better, both recipes are HEALTHY!
So without delay, here they are:
Here's what I found: some chicken broth, frozen veggies, shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken I bought (shredded up and froze in 2 cup portions) the other day, and some pearled barley a friend bought me at a farmer's market. Yes, this was perfect! Now all I needed was some Italian seasoning and my crock pot!
I mixed it all together and then I set my crock pot on LOW for 6-ish hours. My house smelled so good!!!!
And there was the result! Mmmmmm! 3 adults and one toddler ate out of this with plenty of leftovers! (and that will lead to the next recipe where I made a NEW soup out of the leftovers!
Chicken and Barley Slow Cooker Soup
1 box low sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup pearled barley
1 package of frozen veggies (I used a mix of zucchini, squash, peppers and onions)
2 cups shredded chicken
1-2 tsp Italian seasoning
Add and mix all ingredients to crock pot. Set on LOW for 6-8 hours.

And now for the second recipe with the leftovers:
Today I wanted a repeat of yesterday's soup, but with a twist. I decided to add 2 more ingredients to my leftovers!
Ingredient #1: 2 cups chopped kale
Ingredient #2: 2 cups of crushed tomatoes w/ basil
I added all of that with the leftovers of the first soup in a pot on the stove. I heated it at medium, until it was ll heated through and the kale had wilted a little. It was delicious!
Chicken & Barley Tomato Kale Soup
1/2 of the Chicken & Barley Slow Cooker Soup (leftovers)
2 cups chopped kale
2 cups crushed tomatoes with Basil
Add all ingredients to a pot and heat on stove on medium heat. Stir and continue heating until kale has started to wilt a little (about 5-8 minutes).
