Chicken Diabetic Friendly Light and Healthy Mains Slow Cooker Soups, Stews and Chilis

There's nothing better than lazing around on a Sunday and being finished preparing dinner by noon. This chicken chili was so delicious, full of flavor, and super simple to boot! Just combine a bunch of basic ingredients, including kidney and black beans, chopped peppers, corn, tomatoes and spices, then top it all with whole chicken breasts, set it and forget it. On days when I don't want to make a big fuss (otherwise known as every Sunday), that's my kind of meal!

You can serve this chili over rice, with multigrain tortilla chips, or just as is with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of cilantro and grated cheddar cheese. It's so scrumptious and couldn't be an easier way to have dinner ready after work, or during a relaxing weekend at home.

If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also use an oven safe, 5 1/2 quart or larger pot. Simmer the whole pot at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Using either, you'll end up with a delicious result and find that leftovers are even better the next day.

I also love to serve this chili with my one-bowl Honey Jalapeño Cornbread, which is so moist and fluffy you might devour more than the chili itself! But, that's okay... I've been known to have a piece or two for breakfast myself. Yum!

My family DEVOURED this delicious bowl of soup made with ground beef, tomatoes, and tiny pasta. It's warm and comforting, like a great big hug on a cold winter day. Kid-friendly, freezer-friendly!

I was snowed in yesterday, which meant soup day. It also gave me an opportunity to make this AMAZING soup inspired from a small deli who called it Grandma's Soup. I loved how the bits of meat tasted almost like meatballs, without having to do the extra work.

Tommy and my oldest Karina topped theirs with shredded mozzarella and grated Pecorino Romano with a slice of crusty toasted bread (they called it pizza soup). I had mine topped with grated Pecorino Romano, which is completely optional but SO worth it! Madison who's six complained about the chunks of tomatoes (kids!) so if you have picky kids using crushed tomatoes would work too.

I decided to do this in my Instant Pot (a multi-cooker that does the job of a slow cooker, electric pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, sauté/browning pan, and warming pot all in one) because I love the saute feature and how quick it cooks, but you can also make this on the stove, conventional pressure cooker or slow cooker - I've included directions below for all!

Beef, Tomato and Acini di Pepe Soup (Instant Pot, Slow Cooker + Stove Top)

My family DEVOURED this delicious bowl of soup made with ground beef, tomatoes, and tiny pasta. It's warm and comforting, like a great big hug on a cold winter day. Kid-friendly, freezer-friendly!

Ingredients:

1 lb 90% lean ground beef

1- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced celery

1/2 cup diced carrot

28 oz can diced tomatoes

32 oz beef stock*

2 bay leaves

4 oz small pasta such as Acini di pepei*

grated parmesan cheese, optional

*check labels for gluten-free.
Directions:

Instant Pot:

1. Press the saute button, when it's very hot add the ground beef and salt and cook until browned breaking the meat up into small pieces as it cooks. When browned, add the onion, celery and carrots and saute 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes, beef stock and bay leaves, close and using pressure cooker press soup (35 minutes).

3. After that use the quick release, once the pressure is out open, add the pasta and stir, cover and press manual pressure 6 minutes (I did half the time directed on package of pasta). Remove bay leaves and serve.

Stove top directions:

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute the beef and salt on high heat until browned, breaking the meat up into small bits. Add the onion, celery and carrots and saute 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes, stock and bay leaf, cover and cook low until the beef and the vegetables are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (you may need to add more broth or water if it evaporates too much).

3. Add the pasta, stir and cook according to package directions.

Slow Cooker directions:

1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute the beef and salt on high heat until browned, breaking the meat up into small bits. Add the onion, celery and carrots and saute 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Transfer to the slow cooker along with the tomatoes, stock and bay leaf, cover and cook low 8 hours.

3. Just before it's ready cook the pasta on the stove according to package directions. Add the pasta, stir and cook according to package directions.

As you know, I LOVE SOUP! And what I love even more is soup that I can cook in the crockpot. Yes it takes longer, but I'm a set-it and forget-it kinda gal.

After posting my 25 Comforting Crockpot Soups post, I had SEVERAL emails requesting a crockpot chicken noodle soup. Well, I listened, and here it is my friends!

The Best Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 stalks celery, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
6 cups chicken broth (use my EASY homemade broth or low-sodium)
1 cup water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I used 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles (recommend brand is No Yoke, see note below)
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

NOTE: In the comments, you will see that a few people have reported their noodle disintegrating after adding them to the crockpot. I have no idea why this is happening, and have NEVER had that happen any of the times we have made this soup. BUT, I have only used No Yoke brand noodles. Other people have also reported success with No Yoke Noodles and Walmart Generic brand noodles. If you do not have access to those brands of noodles and are concerned, you can also just boil your noodle separately.

1. In a 6 quart crockpot place whole chicken breasts on the bottom and top with , carrots, onion, celery, garlic, olive oil, thyme and bay leaf.

2. Next add in chicken broth, water, and season with salt and pepper to taste. I used 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Cover and cook on low heat 6 - 7 hours.

3. Remove cooked chicken breasts and cut into bite sized pieces. Place chicken back in to the crockpot. Now add in egg noodles and parsley.

Cover and cook just until noodles are tender, 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy with your favorite crackers!

What can be more comforting than a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter night. I don't know if it's cold where you are, but here in New York, it's that kind of bone-chilling cold that requires you to wear hats, gloves and cozy sweaters.

I'm feeling a little under the weather today, and this hot soup is exactly what the doctor ordered. I've had my eye on Bell'alimento's tortellini en brodo and had all the ingredients to make this. I met Paula back in October at the Pom Wonderful Harvest Fest, she has a beautiful blog and a way with words.

This soup is great when you want to make a quick one pot meal. I used Buitoni Spinach Cheese Tortellini which were great tasting, and had the least amount of fat. I also added some fresh baby spinach for some added antioxidants. Enjoy!

Once cooked, remove the rind, and add the baby spinach. Stir to combine. Garnish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano!
