Yield: Serves about 6

Ingredients:

• 3 whole heads garlic, plus 2 cloves pressed through garlic press, divided use
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, diced
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon Herb de Provence
• 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (roughly 2 ½ pounds)
• 4 cups chicken stock, hot
• 1 cup half and half
• ¼ cup sour cream
• Buttery Croutons (recipe below)
• Chives, minced for garnish

Preparation:

-Preheat oven to 400°.

-Cut the tops off of the three heads of garlic, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, plus a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, and wrap each head tightly in foil; roast for 45 minutes, then once cool enough to handles, squeeze the roasted cloves from their papers and set aside.

-Place a large pot over medium-high heat, and add in the butter and the oil; once melted together, add in the onion, plus a pinch of salt and black pepper, the white pepper and the Herbs de Provence, and saute for about 3-4 minutes until translucent; next add in the two, pressed garlic cloves, plus the reserved roasted garlic, and stir those in.

-Add in the cubed potatoes and the chicken stock and stir to combine, and bring to the boil; cover and simmer the soup for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.

-Off the heat, use an immersion blender (or use a regular blender, but take care to work in batches as soup is very hot) to puree the soup completely, until smooth; add in the half & half, plus the sour cream, and use the immersion blender once more to incorporate those. (The soup should be velvety and creamy.)

-Check to see if any additional salt/pepper is needed, and serve the soup with some Buttery Croutons, plus a sprinkle of chives, if desired.

Buttery Croutons Ingredients:

• 4 ounces French baguette, small cube
• ¼ cup unsalted, melted butter
• ¼ teaspoon granulated onion
• ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
• Salt
• Black pepper

Preparation:

-Preheat the oven to 425°, and line a baking sheet with foil.

-Toss the cubed bread with the butter, the granulated onion and garlic, plus a couple of pinches of salt and pepper; turn out onto the baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.

-Store any unused croutons in a ziplock bag (can be re-toasted in a toaster oven, as well.)

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Jodi's Everyday Chili PLUS BLUE RIBBON Mexican Street Corn Chicken Chili

 

I am still typing one handed.  I understand that many of you are used to five daily recipes.  In my current condition, it takes me almost as long to do one recipe as five before.  I’ve said this over and over and over and over………get my drift?

I WELCOME your contributions. 

It’s currently that time for our annual two week excursion to FL and trust me, I don’t think I have ever needed it more.  2015 was NOT my best year.  I will only be posting sporadically from FL, but you long time members, know that this happens every year.  I WILL return and hopefully, be using both hands by then and get back to the normal output.  In the meantime, please be patient with me and don’t jump ship!  Have a happy new year and a great January.

Jodi

 

In the winter time, I make this recipe at least every other week.  It says 30 minutes, but the longer it cooks, the better it is and the more intense the flavorings.  Don’t over do the spices if you intend to simmer for hours!  Trust me.  Found out the hard way.  LOL

Jodi’s Everyday 30 Minute Chili

1 lb. ground beef (Or turkey or Chorizo, etc.)

1 chopped onion

Brown together and drain off grease.  (Jodi always adds garlic paste)

 

Stir in 2 14 1/2 oz cans sliced stewed tomatoes with juice (OR diced tomatoes prepared for use IN CHILI)

1 8 oz. can tomato sauce

1 15 1/2 oz. can chili beans

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1-2 Tbsp. Chili powder (to taste)

2 tsp. sugar

 

Break up tomatoes with potato masher.  Heat to boiling.  Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes.  I ALWAYS make Mexican Corn Bread to serve with mine.  Hubby loves it.

This one was shared by Kathy…………..

Chili Cook-Off Winner!

 

When there is a chill in the air, it means it’s time to have a pot of chili on the stove!

This creative chicken chili dish won the grand prize in our Cooking Contest Central Chili Cook-Off. Imagine everything you love about a hearty bowl of chili combined with the fabulous flavors of Mexican street corn.  Que fantastico!

 

Congratulations to Shauna Havey on her award-winning “Mexican Street Corn Chicken Chili!” Let’s find out a few of her winning tips and why this recipe earned her a spot in the winners circle.

 

How did you come up with your winning recipe?

One of my favorite things to do is take traditional recipes and make them into something different – I think many of us cooking contesters have that in common!  I’ve been grilling Mexican Street Corn for my family for years and they love it.  We’ve also tried a few recipes for Mexican Street Corn Salad and I thought, “why not chili?”  It ended up being one of the best bowls of chili I’ve ever made.  The fresh, bright toppings really put it over the top.

 

Why is this your signature chili recipe?

My favorite characteristics of a great chili are body and heat which this chili is brimming with.  I use freshly roasted Anaheim chilies to create depth of flavor and then puree some of the beans to make the sauce a velvety texture. Poaching the chicken in the stock before adding it to the chili gives it even more richness.   

 

Do you have an award-winning tips or recipe contest advice?

Whenever I submit a recipe for a contest, I make sure it’s something I love and am proud to serve. I strive to make the contest key ingredient or theme the real star of the dish.  My true love in life next to cooking is food styling and photography, so I use those talents to maximize the appeal of my recipes.

 

Mexican Street Corn Chicken Chili

Recipe by Shauna Havey

 

 

All the intense and exciting flavors of the street food favorite immersed in a velvety base of white chili beans, freshly roasted Anaheim chilies, and tender poached chicken.

 

Ingredients

 

6 Anaheim chilies

6 ears fresh corn, husked

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 quart chicken stock

1/2 Cup Mexican beer (optional)

1 bay leaf

2 jalapenos

4 cloves garlic, peeled

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1/2 stick salted butter

1 sweet onion, diced

1 red onion, diced

4, 14-1/2 ounce cans white chili beans

1 Tablespoon Ancho chili powder

2 tsp cumin

salt and pepper

3 limes

1 bunch cilantro

1 Cup shredded pepperjack cheese

1/2 Cup Cotija cheese, crumbled

 

Instructions

Prepare the chilies: Place the chilies on a sheet pan and set under the broiler for 10 to 15 minutes or until the skin is blackened. Turn once to char both sides. Place the chilies in a zip top bag and let them sit for a few minutes, then pull off the skin, discard the seeds, and dice.

 

Char the corn: Use a sharp knife to remove the corn from the cobs. Place the corn in a hot, dry skillet and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the corn becomes slightly charred. Set aside.

 

Poach the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into a pot. Pour in the broth and the beer (if using), along with the bay leaf, 1 of the garlic cloves, and 1 jalapeno sliced in half. Bring the chicken to a bare simmer. Cover and turn off the heat. Allow the chicken to poach in the hot liquid for about ten minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth. Run the broth through a mesh strainer and reserve the liquid. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it up.

 

Prepare the chili: In the same pot used for the chicken, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onion, reserving half of the red onion for garnish. Add the remaining garlic cloves. Cook over medium low heat until translucent. In a food processor add one can of the chili beans, ½ cup of the chicken broth, ½ of the cooked onions, the cooked garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of the roasted chilies. Puree and add back to the pot. Add the rest of the beans, the green chilies, the corn, the shredded chicken, the broth, the ancho chili powder, and the cumin. Taste for seasonings and add salt and pepper as needed to taste. Allow the chili to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes to marry the flavors. Chop ½ Cup of the cilantro and add it to the chili. Squeeze in the juice of ½ lime, and add the pepper jack. Taste again for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with some raw red onion, fresh jalapeno slices, cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

 

Prep Time: 30 mins

Cook Time: 30 mins

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: Serves 8

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Pesto dressing for salad

 

My husband is sensitive to acid. I mixed a teaspoon or so with jarred pesto and mixed with with a bit of olive oil. Lightened it with about a teaspoon of water. He loved it. So anyone with chemo mouth trouble might try this. I usually have homemade pesto but a refrigerated grocery store pesto will work in a pinch.
