Skinnytaste~ Chicken Pot Pie Soup

If you know me well, you know that I LOVE to try new things,whether it be my own concoctions or other people's. I recently started subscribing to a page on Facebook called Skinnytaste. Not only does she have a Skinnytaste Facebook Page, but a Skinnytaste blog/website as well. I have found so many recipes that I can't wait to try! I do not do Weight Watchers, but I love that she offers points for recipes in her nutritional value.

I love chicken pot pie and when I was on this site, I found an amazing healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe that reminds me of something my mom would make and love. It is now a huge favorite for dinner. I also made it the other day as a meal for a friend, so I am hoping her family will like it as much as we do. I have tried this in the crock pot, but was not happy with it. The flavor of the soup was just as good, but the creaminess you get when you cook it on the stove was not. So, when I cook this again, and I am sure I will, it will be a stove top soup.

In need of more time....

I have had so many people say to me, "You have not put anything new on your blog in a while." I say true dat!! Oh my, there are some days I do not know if I am coming or going. With going to school full-time myself and all my kid's extracurricular activities, especially "O" my oldest, who is almost 9 going on 20, keeps me extremely busy with all her Tae Kwon Do classes and homework. I am hoping to try new things and get them posted soon!

Want to put that recipe in the crockpot instead of the oven?

I do not know how the weather is where you are at, but here in the beautiful state of Wisconsin, it is cold, windy and rainy. I personally, do not mind the cold, I live in Wisconsin, what else would I expect? However, I do mind the wind and rain we have been having. So, it is a great time to break out the crock pot and use it a lot more. Not only because the weather is so dreary and soup is great for this kind of weather, but because crock pots are not just for soups. My kids keep me so busy and I am tried of feeding them quick, unhealthy food all the time. There is a great conversion chart on About.com, entitled, Oven to Crockpot Conversion General Information that has some tips on how to convert oven recipes into crock pot recipes. I found something similar a while back, but forgot where I found it. While on Facebook, Skinny Crock Pot shared this one. I hope everyone finds it as useful as I do!!
