SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN AND BEAN SOUP (CROCK POT)
This soup has a good chili flavor and is simple to pull together even when the refrigerator is looking pretty bare. I do substitute fresh ingredients when I have them and the time to prepare them, but I list canned ones here for convenience (and they do taste pretty good anyhow!). I leave the seeds in my chili pepper, but take them out if you want a milder taste, and adjust the seasonings accordingly as well. This soup is very flexible - it's a good way to use up leftover chicken, beans and corn, and I believe you could use ground beef or turkey or TVP in this just as easily as chicken breast. I found a 6 can soup recipe on the web, but I altered it so much that it became something new, and this is the result.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN & BARLEY SOUP
I recently purchased some barley as a way to introduce new grains to my diet. Found lots of good ideas for barley on this site and came up with my own soup. Perfect fall soup with comfort from the barley and chicken with a little heat from the chilies. Since the ingredients here reflect my pantry and tastes, you should feel free to adapt it to your own. I can see using green beans instead of zucchini or thighs instead of breasts.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your soup the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the chicken and vegetables won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.
- Let the soup cool slightly before serving: This will help prevent burns and make the soup easier to handle.
