Southwest Chicken and Bean Soup

September 10, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 12 Comments

HI Everyone,

I am so excited today!!!  This is my first recipe for the Secret Recipe Club.  I am so happy to finally be apart of this group.

 

 


 

In case you’re not familiar with the group, here’s a little scoop for you!  Once a month you get assigned a blog and you get to pick whatever recipe you want to make and then on the secret reveal day I get to share with you the recipe.  The blogger you get chosen doesn’t have any idea who has there blog, after all it’s a secret!

My assignment was to find a wonderful recipe from Highlands Ranch Foodie and boy did I have a tough time.  It took me two weeks to find a recipe!  Why so hard?  Everything looked amazing!!  Lea Ann is the owner Highland Ranch Foodie and she has a passion for Southwestern style food.  Everything I love!!  My family thinks it’s so crazy that being from Buffalo, that I have a love for southwestern food.  I swear I can eat peppers, hot sauce and beans everyday!  That’s why I chose Lea Ann’s Southwest Chicken and Bean Soup, it sounded simply amazing and believe me it tasted amazing!!!

The only things I changed in this recipe was using black beans instead of kidney beans and I didn’t use the Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce, which I think this is what the recipe needed.  I LOVE Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce but my Husband is not a spicy kind of food guy.  So I skipped the pepper but added Chipotle Pepper seasoning.  I just loved the soup, it had a lot of flavor and was perfect for my dinner.  I topped it with some chopped tomatoes and onions, guacamole, Mexican Cheese and Tortilla Chips.  My Husband loved it too.  But next time when I make I am so adding the Chipotle Pepper.  I know that is the whole basis of this recipe.

I highly recommend visiting Highlands Ranch Foodie for some wonderful down home southwestern comfort food.  After reading Lea Ann’s blog I so want to go to Denver.  Did you know going to Denver is on my bucket list of places to go before I leave this earth.  I don’t know why, but I have always been intrigued by Denver.

    Thanks so much for such a nice write up. And yes, Denver/Colorado should be on your bucket list … don’t get me started. I love it here. 🙂 I’m flattered that you had a hard time picking what to make, but let me tell you, you picked a tasty one. We were at friends this weekend and she brought up this recipe, said she had made it often and really liked it. Yes, those chipotle peppers can be HOT and can be too hot. I usually lay them out, open them up, scrape the veins and seeds out and then use them. So nice to find your blog, and thanks again for trying my soup and the great blog post. Nice photos!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
