Nate’s Pheasant Noodle Soup

Stuff you’ll need and need to do:

  • 1 pheasant (or chicken)
  • 1 can cream of celery soup
  • Lawry’s seasoned salt
  • Minced onion
  • Minced garlic
  • 3 or 4 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 3 or 4 large carrots (chopped)
  • 3 or 4 cans of chicken stock
  • 2 or 3 cups of egg noodles
  • Italian seasoning (oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, sage, marjoram)
  • Salt and black pepper

Cover the pheasant with a can of cream of celery soup and cook in a slow cooker until done (4 hours or so). Remove the pheasant and remove all meat from the bones. Add the meat, seasoning (to taste), chicken stock, and veggies back to the slow cooker. Allow the soup to cook until veggies are cooked to the desired tenderness. Cook the egg noodles separately and add to the soup towards the end of cooking.

Carlos’ Con Queso

Stuff you’ll need and need to do:

  • 2# diced white onions
  • 2# diced tomatoes (fresh)
  • 2# diced jalapenos (pickled and drained well)
  • 1 # butter. Â melted to saute the veggies
  • add 6 tbsp of granulated garlic with the veggies to saute
  • once the veggies are soft, but not too mushy, add 30 # Velveeta a little at a time and melt. Â mix well as you add the (fake) cheese.

    That’s it. Personally would use fresh garlic and real chilis and japs.  Again for my taste, I would use chipotles not the canned japs. And yeah….this is for a freakin’ huge batch.

Carlos’ Salsa

Note:Â Unless you are having one hell of a party, you’ll need to scale this back just a tad….

Stuff you’ll need:

  • 8 pounds of peeled white onions.
  • 4 pounds of canned chilies (the not hot type, pickled), drained well
  • 2 pounds of canned pickled jalapenos, also drained well.
  • 8 tbsp salt
  • either 4 or 6 tbsp granulated garlic
  • 2 bunches of cilantro
  • 8 #10 cans of whole peeled tomatoes

Stuff you’ll need to do:

  • Use a food processor to medium dice the onions, chilies, japs, cilantro, and spices. Then add the tomatoes (not drained) and grind until the proper consistency is reached.
