Turn yesterday’s ham into today’s cozy comfort! Whip up our simple leftover ham & split pea soup for a deliciously easy dinner tonight! I wanted to make a soup with some of our leftover ham from yesterday, and always find that this is an easy recipe to follow.  You can certainly throw all of the ingredients in at once and then bring to a boil, but I like taking the extra few minutes to sauté the vegetables to bring out a bit of extra flavor.

For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot:

Creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-easy to make, this Chicken Enchilada soup is made even easier in the pressure cooker.  Dinner ready in less than 30 minutes? Fantastic! This is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make, and it’s so delicious!  Delish is one of my favorite resources, and I found this in their magazine. 

For this recipe, I used the Deluxe Multi Cooker:

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Product Details

  • 6-qt. (5.6-L) capacity; 13″ x 15″ x 13″ (33 cm x 38 cm x 33 cm)
  • Includes a stainless-steel inner pot, wire rack, and silicone seal which are all dishwasher-safe, and a cooking guide with recipes and cooking charts.
  • 16 preprogrammed settings: Custom, Sear, Egg, Poultry, Beef/Pork, Seafood, White Rice, Whole Grains, Soup, Beans, Dessert, Steam, Slow Cook, Sous Vide, Yogurt, and Sterilize.
  • Built in carrying handles, hidden cord storage, and an on/off switch.
  • Separate display screen lets you adjust chime volume, brightness, Fahrenheit or Celsius, and adjust for high-altitude cooking if needed.

Sweet Corn Chowder – Saveur (Video)

If you have any questions about the products you already have, or want some information on starting your own PC business, I can help you with that as well!!***

This creamy chowder recipe from Saveur is loaded with sweet summer corn, veggies, and crispy bacon. A perfect addition to a cool summer night meal!  Saveur is an online gourmet, food, wine, and travel magazine, and an all-around great resource to check out.

For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef Kernel Cutter, Flex+ Multi-Prep Set, and 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot:

Kernel Cutter

The Kernel Cutter’s curved and serrated stainless blade quickly removes kernels from cobs, and the plastic husker blade slices through corn silks and husks. The large ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and easy maneuverability.

Flex+ Multi-Prep Set

3 Cordless Prep Tools in One

Slicing, chopping, grating, pureeing, emulsifying, mixing, and blending doesn’t have to be time-consuming or frustrating. With the Flex+, you get three complete cordless, time-saving prep tools in one: an immersion blender, 6-cup (1.5-L) food processor, and a hand mixer, so you can quickly, effortlessly, and safely whip up whatever you’re making, anytime, anywhere. Just click the power handle to one of the attachments, choose a blade (food processor) or beaters/whisks (hand mixer), pop on one of the batteries, and you’re ready to go. We’ve included two rechargeable batteries to give you about 60 minutes of total run time. The power handle has push-button control for comfortable one-handed operation. Five speeds (three for the hand mixer) easily adjust during use for flexibility and control. Indicator lights show how much battery life is left and the speed you’re using. A safety lock prevents the Flex+ from accidentally turning on.

Immersion Blender

Big jobs or small, its slim size, stainless blade, and cookware-safe design means you control the texture of the foods you blend. You’ll enjoy smooth soups and gravies, and all kinds of sauces such as pesto, tomato, chimichurri, barbecue, dressings, marinades, mayonnaise, milkshakes, and smoothies. It includes a blending container to make homemade mayonnaise and dressings in under two minutes.

6-cup (1.5-L) Food Processor

Get fresh flavor in a flash without breaking a sweat. Choose one of the three blades based on what you’re making. The multiuse blade can cut foods to the size and texture you want, even purees. The grating blade is reversible so you can coarsely or finely grate fresh ingredients in no time. The slicing blade slices and shaves veggies for salads and sautés, potatoes and zucchini for gratins, and apples or any firm produce. (Please note, the slicing blade won’t slice cheese.)

Hand Mixer

A baker’s and breakfast maker’s best friend. Mix, beat, incorporate, and whip together eggs, batters, meringues, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, frothy egg whites, and more. Includes two beaters and two whisks.

8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot

Batch Cooking With Hassle-Free Cleanup

When big batches of pasta, soup, stew, or chili are on the menu, reach for this 8-qt. (7.6-L) nonstick stock pot. It’s never been easier to batch cook or prep for family get-togethers and special events. With high-quality nonstick coatings inside and out, this pot releases food effortlessly—and because it’s dishwasher-safe, cleanup is easy.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 8 ears corn, shucked
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 1.5 pounds new potatoes peeled cut into ½-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup basil thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

Remove the husks from the corn and cut kernels from cobs using the Kernel Cutter and set kernels and cobs aside.

In large stock pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 12 minutes. Remove 2/3 of the bacon with slotted spoon from pan and set aside.  Remove approximately three tablespoons of the bacon drippings to a heatproof bowl; leave the rest in the pot.

Add the butter, celery, onions, garlic, thyme and bay leaf to pot, stirring to coat with drippings.  Cover and cook @ six minutes, or until the onion softens, stirring occasionally.

Add corn kernels, cobs, milk, and potatoes; bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer, cooking @25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, stir occasionally.

Discard bay leaf and cobs. Use an immersion blender to puree some (not all) of the soup to thicken.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately and top with bacon and sliced basil.

That’s it!  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

Cool and delicious, this Watermelon Gazpacho from Ali over at Gimme Some Oven is the most refreshing soup you’ll ever have, and full of summer flavors! You can learn more about Ali here. Her recipes are so wonderful, and this one is my new favorite! Mint is not something I use regularly, but I tried it for this recipe, and it was very good, although I may try a different herb next time, and leave some seeds from the jalapeño in, for a bit of extra heat. For this recipe, I (of course) used my Deluxe Cooking Blender:

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks. With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Product Details

  • 6-cup capacity for hot food.
  • 7-cup capacity for cold food.
  • Includes: Tamper, Dual-Sided Cleaning Brush, Strainer Bag, Boil-Over Guard, and the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide which includes more than 60 recipes.
  • 8 preprogrammed settings including: Smoothie, Alt Milk, Grind, Soup, Heated Puree, Sauce, Jam, and Custom Blend.
  • 17½” x 9½” x 9¾”.
  • 2 peak horsepower†

A couple of things I did differently, specifically because of my blender, is that I used an English cucumber as it is seedless, and I did NOT peel it, since our blender can take care of the peel with ease. I also used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and did not reove the seeds. Click here to get your Deluxe Cooking Blender today.  You’ll be glad you did. Let’s jump right in! Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Sherry Vinegar
  • 1.5 cups fresh watermelon, cubed

  • 2 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 slice bread crusts removed quartered
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • Croutons
  • Fresh mint chopped
  • Olive oil
  • diced tomatoes
  • diced red onion
  • diced cucumber
  • diced red pepper

Instructions

Add all ingredients (minus garnish) to the Deluxe Cooking Blender in the order listed. Replace and lock the lid. Press the wheel  to start blending on the CUSTOM BLEND setting and increase to speed 9 for 20 seconds, or until ingredients are combined.
