I don’t make this soup every day. It’s not a Tuesday-night-chicken-and-rice situation. This is the soup I make when I want to feel a little spoiled — like maybe I’ve earned a treat.

I still remember her shooing us out of the kitchen — not because she didn’t want help, but because we’d “just get underfoot.” You could smell the onions and butter from the hallway, and you …
Let me tell you — some days just call for soup. Not the kind that comes from a can, mind you.

A warm bowl of memories, served with cornbread and a little love. I don’t know about you, but there are some meals that feel like they carry history in them. Not in a fancy, museum kind of way — more like a “pull up a chair, I’ll tell you about it while the soup simmers” kind of way. Try our Mom Dumps Stuffing Mix Over Chicken and Lets the Oven Do the Work — So Good next. This green enchilada chicken soup? It’s one of those.

I still remember the first time I made this Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Beef Stew — it was one of those gray, drizzly Thursdays when the kids had soccer practice, I had a to-do list longer than my arm, and the pantry was looking… well, let’s say uninspired. Try our Slow Cooker Poor Man’s Beef and Noodles next. I threw what I had in the slow cooker, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best.

You ever have one of those days where you mean to make something fancy, but real life says, “Not today, honey”? That’s how this soup was born in my house.
