Delicious jalapeno soup

I've been wanting to make this soup for a while now but haven't got around to doing it so yesterday, I made sure that I got some fresh jalapenos and my other ingredients that I would need for it. If you like jalapeno and spicy stuff, then you may probably enjoy it. I know that I do. One of my friends gave me this recipe and a while ago and I had made it once. I do not know where she got it from so I cannot give credit to the owner. My hubby enjoyed it and that was good enough for me :). Now, this recipe is versatile in that you can add whatever you want to the basic soup such as chicken, sausages, potato, bacon. I added chicken to mine. Scroll down below for the recipe.




INGREDIENTS:

1 stick butter

1 medium onion, diced finely

2 bell peppers, diced

3 (or more-depending on how spicy you like it) jalapenos (seeded and diced)

1/2 cup flour

2 cans low sodium chicken broth

1 quart heavy cream or half and half

salt to taste

black pepper to taste

OPTIONAL (grated cheese, cooked diced potatoes, cooked shredded chicken, or bacon, sausage). You can use any type of cheese you prefer and substitute according to your taste.

METHOD:

 In a medium dutch oven, melt butter. Then add your onions, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers. Stir slightly. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on low heat.

Add the flour and keep stirring so that there are no lumps and the flour gets cooked for about two minutes.

Add the chicken stock to mixture. Stir and bring to a medium boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for another 8 minutes.

Finally add your cream, salt pepper, potatoes and chicken. Cook until heated through. Sprinkle your cheese on it before you eat.

Enjoy!

God takes care of His own

Today, as I was going out to the porch, I caught a glimpse of this lovely house wren walking across the platform and I ran inside to get my camera. By the time I got back, I didn't see it immediately but soon saw it fluttering amongst the dogwood branches. In no time, it went to the pile of firewood and I was finally able to get some shots. I stood there for a long while admiring it. As I loaded the photos in my computer and saw the bird, I was reminded of Matthew 6:26. "Matthew 6:26 - Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" God takes care of the birds. They are important to Him. He also takes care of those who belong to Him.The past few months had been a bit hard financially and health-wise but throughout the hard times, my hubby and I were able to see the amazing Love and Grace that our Lord bestows. He sustained us all throughout and we

Pawprints on our hearts

Today made a week since my pet bassett hound, Belle went missing. We've looked, called and used the internet to find her but no luck. Sometimes, I think she would just be there waiting when I get home or open the door and it would be just like before. Sometimes at night, I hear the neighbor's dogs barking and I would think I hear "voice" but then I know it is not.  She was like part of our family and has been with us for over eleven years now. I just wish I knew what happened to her. Did someone steal her? Had she been hit and is lying on the side of a ditch somewhere? Is she injured and cannot get help? We even called Animal Control to see if they'd picked her up but no luck. I'd prefer her to be stolen and well taken care of than to be gone. This is just another of life's experiences we all must go through- pain and loss. It hurts even still. Praying that we can still find her. There is always hope. Leah Belle, you have left pawprints on our hearts!

Taking a break

After the intense editing and formatting my Kindle versions of the individual books in The Sunny Brook Trilogy, I am finally finished with the updates. Yay!!! It's been pretty grueling because formatting for Kindle and for print are very different. But God is good (if you know me- that's what I say a lot). So, to give myself a mental boost, I took my beloved camera and walked to the front yard. I love shooting anything- from the flowers to the birds and yes, even the weeds!! Here are just a few of the pics. I love Spring!!! I wish I had time to edit the rest but due to time constraints, I can't. Enjoy :) !
