Ingredients:

1.5 lbs ground turkey
2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (drained)
1 can pinto beans (optional) (drained)
8 oz chicken stock
diced onion and garlic (to taste)
1 chili seasoning packet of your choice (I use McCormick)
diced jalepeno peppers to taste (I use 1-2 tsp of the ones in a jar)
diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (I use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of the ones in a jar if you can find them, if not the ones in the can work but you have to dice them)

Directions:

Brown the ground turkey, along with the onions and garlic. Add the chicken stock and seasonings and bring to a boil. Add the diced tomatoes and beans are optional. Add the jalepeno and chipotle peppers to taste. Simmer 30 minutes and adjust the salt if needed. Serve with chili toppings and cornbread. *wear gloves when handling the peppers*

1 diced onion ( I used yellow )
3 stalks celery chopped
2 shredded carrots
4 peeled potatoes chopped ( I preferred skin on )
1 can cream mushroom soup
1 can whole milk
2 cans chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper

I literally chopped and prepped all of the above and put in my crock pot for 6 hours on high. At hour 5, I did a taste test for added salt/pepper and butter. I also did a basic potato *mash* to cream/thicken.

Enjoy!

Hi ksrainbow,

I admit, I do use a fair amount of cream of something soups to cook. Have you, or has anybody here, tried the new Campbell's cream of Cremini and Shitake mushroom soup yet? I'm sure it would probably be good in anything that calls for cream of mushroom soup, but I haven't tried it yet. I have, however, bought 2 cans of it, and it is sitting in my pantry, ready to go. Any feedback?

Hello!

To be honest: where I live your choices of Campbells soups is/are not in the selection here in the state of Kansas where I reside (sad). I use what I have as a *added* creamy-nuss to my recipes. You dont know how much I would love to have your options/choices to recipes: unfortunately I just improvise. AKA: add butter/fresh herbs/whole milk-cream.
