Slow Cooker Potato Soup

The first time I tried this recipe it was a success with my family. I have also substituted meatballs for the smoked sausage and I have left the meat out before. I really like this soup because it's easy and hearty. I usually serve it with Rhodes yeast rolls.

32 oz. chicken broth
3 lbs. potatoes, diced (I use red potatoes.)
1 lb. smoked sausage, cut in bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, quartered
1 tsp. dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. half & half

Combine all ingredients except half & half in your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours (high, 3-4 hours). Just before serving, add the half & half.

MICROWAVE on high 10 min., stirring after 5 min. Crush potatoes with a potato masher.

Taco Soup

Our family LOVES this recipe! My Aunt Linda fixed this taco soup last summer when I visited with her in Kansas. We have made it numerous times since!

(This is a large recipe but you can cut it in half easily for 5 - 6 people)

5 lbs. ground beef
3 cans Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can chili beans
3 cans corn
3 oz. ranch dressing mix
3 pkg. taco seasoning
1 cup onion, chopped

Brown ground beef with chopped onions. Drain. Add all ingredients with juice, except for the ranch dressing mix. Simmer until bubbly, then stir in dressing mix right before serving.

Serve with shredded cheese, tortilla or corn chips, and sour cream.
