Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chicken Chili 2

I have a great hearty fall recipe for you.
My biggest question in sharing it is whether to call it a soup, a stew or a chili.

The original recipe I adapted called this a soup. Mine turned out to be more of a stew or chili because it was very hearty, chunky and not as juicy as I usually expect soup to be.
I think what happened was I, as usual, was very zealous with my portion of squash and chicken making it soak up a fair bit of the broth  to make it and more of a chunky stew or chili.

Any way you prefer it, this recipe is great, just know that the longer you let it simmer and the more chicken, squash and quinoa you use, the heartier and thicker in texture it will be.

I think I’ll call it a chicken chili.

Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chicken Chili 3

This chili has a great flavor – from the tomato and squash all the way to the quinoa and corn, every bite is tasty and has a little kick from the taco seasoning.  If you like it even spicier, try a few red chili flakes.

This is a perfect, healthy recipe for the winter season we’re getting into and best of all, it comes together quickly.

I took it as a lunch at work and got a few jealous eyes staring over their sandwiches as they asked about it – it’s great as leftovers and a great sandwich alternative any day!

Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chicken Chili 1

Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chicken Chili

Recipe adapted from Chelsea’s Messy Apron

Ingredients:

Rotisserie chicken – all white meat and some dark – about 1 ½ pounds total
½ cup quinoa or ancient grains
½ cup barley
1 medium butternut squash, cubed
1 can President’s Choice Blue Menu Six Bean Medley
1 can of corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons of taco seasoning
5 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Optional: parmesan cheese and red chili flakes or hot sauce

Directions:

Carve up the rotisserie chicken, removing skin and cutting into bite sized chunks. Peel, seed, and chop the butternut squash into small bite-sized pieces (or buy pre-chopped butternut squash for an even faster prep). Rinse and drain the kidney beans and corn.

In a large pot, add in the chicken, quinoa, chopped squash, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, garlic, and taco seasoning.

Pour in the chicken broth and season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Cover and simmer on low until the quinoa is cooked through and the squash is very tender. The longer it simmers the thicker it will be. Garnish with parmesan or red chili flakes, if desired.

Craving by Ree

We found something neat to do with tasty food so we wanted to show it for you! Enjoy!

I’ve been in Colorado with my family this week, and we’ve had a wonderful time together. The only thing about family trips to Colorado, however, is that due to the absence of pots and pans and a pantry full of staples, I don’t get to do a lot of cooking. On one hand, the break is kind of nice; on the other hand, I miss being able to spend time in the kitchen making the things I’m craving.

And then eating the things I’m craving. (The eating part is kind of key.)

And speaking of that…here are some things I’ve been wanting this week! Some of these are oldies-but-goodies you may never have seen before!

comfortComfort Meatballs. They aren’t fancy, but man…they are good for the soul.

 
 
3883382922_161fa35504Grilled Ribeye Steak with Blue Cheese Sauce. I could slurp this sauce with a straw.

 
 
fancyFancy Macaroni. Goes with steak, goes with a salad, goes with an appetite. Truly a treat!

4835843705_abf1ff7779_bPasta with Pancetta and Leeks. I have had a serious hankering for this over the past few days. I blame skiing. I need carbs!

 
 
quesadillasQuesadillas de Camarones. I blame skiing. I need cheese!

 
 
tacos1My Brother’s Chicken Tacos. If you’ve never tried these, you gotta. Just lay newspapers all over your whole house first.

 
 
tpw_82341Pasta with Whiskey, Wine and Mushrooms. This is simple and glorious!

 
 
5278973957_3f9f9a21c2_o1Pizza with fig, prosciutto, and arugula. My word, I love this pizza. Haven’t had it in awhile!

 
 
granolabars1I know this sounds funny, but one of the first things I’m going to make when I get back is a big batch of granola bars. I’ve had some ideas for different variations on my original ones—the mountains do that to a person—and I’m ready to go for it.

 
 
8377655803_708755f55f_zSunday Night Stew. Of all the things I’ve been craving this week, this one’s at the top. And it’s ironic, considering I made it just a few days before we left on our trip! I guess I just didn’t get quite enough.

Enjoy your kitchens! I’ll be ready to get home and enjoy mine. 🙂

Veggie Tortellini Soup by Ree

Originally from: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/pwcooks/~3/d_Wp8auXv5E/

We found something awesome to do with good food and we wanted to repost it for you! Cheers!

DSC_3779Oh, is this a delightful soup! And the best thing is that (get ready) it takes less than twenty minutes to get on the table.

I just heard you! You said “GET OUT OF TOWN!” But I can’t do that, friends! Not only do I mean what I say about the soup taking less than twenty minutes, but I also just got back into town after our family trip and I’m not budging from my house for the next ninety years!

Here’s how to make the soup. It’s ridonkulously easy and oh, so tasty.

 
DSC_3707Start by pouring broth into a pot. I used vegetable broth, but you can use chicken or beef—whatever you have on hand and whatever makes your skirt fly up and whatever makes you happy in life.

 
 
DSC_3712Turn on the heat…

 
 
DSC_3713And bring it to a simmer/gentle boil.

 
 
DSC_3716Add a big ol’ spoonful of tomato paste, and can I take this opportunity to say just how much I love the addition of tomato paste to any soup? Except maybe potato soup, which would be a little weird. But for every other soup: tomato paste is my life!

 
 
DSC_3719Stir it until the tomato paste is all incorporated and the mixture is very hot/starting to boil.

 
 
DSC_3720Then grab a bag o’ frozen veggies…

 
 
DSC_3724And pour it right on in!

 
 
DSC_3729Stir it around for a couple of minutes to let the mixture heat up again.

 
 
DSC_3734Then sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat…

 
 
DSC_3738And some cheese tortellini. You can use spinach tortellini if that’s what you prefer; anything is fine!

 
 
DSC_3740Now just stir it around and let the soup gently boil and cook the tortellini for 3 to 4 minutes.

 
 
DSC_3742Mmmmm. Looking good!

 
 
DSC_3752When the tortellini is about halfway cooked…

 
 
DSC_3756Pour in some heavy cream! If you have time and have a brain (which I usually don’t) you can warm it on the saucepan to make sure it doesn’t curdle when it hits the soup.

 
 
DSC_3758This isn’t a super creamy soup; the cream just makes the whole thing a little richer and gives it more substance.

 
 
DSC_3761Let it cook for another couple of minutes, adding salt and pepper to make sure it has plenty of flavor.

 
 
DSC_3747While that’s happening, stack up some basil leaves…

 
 
DSC_3748Then roll them up and chiffonade them.

 
 
DSC_3750Then mince up some fresh parsley.

 
 
DSC_3762Throw in the parsley…

 
 
DSC_3765And stir it in.

 
 
DSC_3772Note: The soup is best if you let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving! I don’t know why. It’s simply one of the mysteries of the universe. The cream slightly thickens and makes the whole thing a dream.

 
 
DSC_3778Sprinkle on the basil…

 
 
DSC_3779And dig right in.

 
 
DSC_3783Bryce would like me to tell you something: He loves this soup! Served himself seconds and claimed the leftovers for Monday.

Here’s the handy dandy printable!
