🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

On a chilly morning, there’s something so comforting about getting a pot of soup started and letting it simmer through the day. A little preparation in the morning, and the slow cooker takes over while you tend to things at home. 🍂🏡

This lasagna soup brings together a rich tomato broth, lean ground beef, tender noodles, and a creamy three-cheese topping. It stretches a pound of beef into six generous servings, making it a comforting, economical family meal. Using no-salt-added tomatoes and tomato paste, unsalted broth, and measured cheese portions helps keep the sodium lower, too! 💛

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup

Makes: 6 generous servings
Slow cooker: 6-quart
Cook: LOW 5–6 hours or HIGH 2½–3½ hours, plus noodle cooking time

🛒 Ingredients

For the soup:

• 1 pound Marketside Organic Grass-Fed Ground Beef, 93% lean
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) Great Value Organic No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes, undrained
• ¼ cup Hunt’s No Salt Added Tomato Paste
• 6 cups Swanson Unsalted Beef Broth
• 2 teaspoons Great Value Organic dried basil
• 1½ teaspoons Great Value Organic dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon Great Value Organic dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon Great Value Organic ground black pepper
• 1 Great Value Organic bay leaf, optional
• 6 ounces Great Value regular lasagna noodles, broken into bite-size pieces
• Up to 1 cup hot water, as needed

For the three-cheese topping:

• ¾ cup Great Value ricotta cheese
• ¾ cup Great Value shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons Great Value grated Parmesan
• ½ teaspoon Great Value Organic dried basil

👩‍🍳 Directions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add a splash of the measured broth and stir to loosen the flavorful browned bits.
  3. Transfer to the slow cooker. Add the remaining broth, undrained tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, pepper, and optional bay leaf. Stir, cover, and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours.
  4. Remove the bay leaf. Gently mash some of the tomatoes if you prefer a smoother broth.
  5. Near serving time, turn the cooker to HIGH and stir in the broken, uncooked lasagna noodles. Press them beneath the broth and cover. Begin checking after 20 minutes; they may take 30–45 minutes or longer, depending on your cooker. Stir once during cooking and cook just until tender. Add hot water as needed for a soup consistency.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and remaining ½ teaspoon basil.
  7. Ladle the soup into six bowls. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among them, about ¼ cup per bowl. Let it soften in the hot soup, then gently swirl it through. Enjoy! 🥣

📝 Recipe Notes

• Planning on leftovers? Cook the noodles separately in unsalted water according to the package directions. Add them to individual bowls and store the remaining noodles separately so they don’t soak up the broth.

• Unsalted chicken broth works well if you cannot find unsalted beef broth.

• Unsalted broth still contains some naturally occurring sodium. Check labels and keep the cheese portions measured to help control the sodium in each bowl.

• The soup base has no added onion or garlic, but packaged broth may contain them—check the ingredients if you avoid either.

🌿 A little RosemaryThyme note

Comforting meals don’t have to be complicated or expensive. A pound of lean beef, a few pantry staples, and a little help from the slow cooker can bring everyone to the table for something warm and satisfying. These are the kinds of meals I love having ready on a chilly evening. 💛🏡

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Screenshot

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

Many years ago, we tried white chicken chili for the very first time at a restaurant in Kimmswick, Missouri. It was so delicious that I came home determined to create my own version!

Over the years, this one has become a family favorite. We especially love using ground chicken—it gives each spoonful that hearty texture we enjoy in traditional ground beef chili. As soon as the weather turns cooler, this comforting meal finds its way back into our weekly lineup. There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of chili on a chilly evening! 💛🏡

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Creamy white beans, ground chicken, sweet corn, and warm spices come together with a little Neufchâtel cream cheese and a bright squeeze of lime.

Makes approximately 6–8 servings
Slow cooker: 5–6 quarts

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon Great Value Olive Oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cans (15.5 ounces each) Goya Organic Lower Sodium Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed well
• 1½ cups Great Value Frozen Sweet Corn
• 1 can (4 ounces) mild diced green chiles, undrained
• 1 carton (32 ounces) Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
• 2 teaspoons Great Value Organic Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Great Value Organic Dried Oregano
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper, or black pepper if preferred
• 1 teaspoon dried cilantro, optional
• 4 ounces Neufchâtel cream cheese, softened and cubed
• Juice of ½ lime

🥣 Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and onion. Cook, breaking the chicken into small crumbles, until the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F and the onion has softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin, oregano, and pepper; cook for another minute.
  2. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans well. Set aside 1–1½ cups of the beans and mash with a fork or potato masher, adding a little of the measured broth to help them become creamy.
  3. Transfer the chicken mixture to your slow cooker. Add the whole beans, mashed beans, frozen corn, green chiles, remaining broth, and dried cilantro, if using. Stir gently.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until hot throughout and the flavors have blended.
  5. During the last 20–30 minutes, turn the slow cooker to LOW and add the softened, cubed Neufchâtel cream cheese. For a smoother finish, whisk the cheese with a little hot broth from the pot in a separate bowl, then stir it back into the chili. Cover and let it blend, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  6. Stir in the juice of ½ lime right before serving. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired, then ladle into bowls and enjoy!

🌿 Recipe Notes

• Mashing some of the beans gives the chili creamy thickness without flour or heavy cream.

• Lower-sodium beans, a thorough rinse, and unsalted broth help keep the sodium lower. The beans, green chiles, and cheese still contribute some salt, so taste before adding any extra.

• Prefer a thinner chili? Stir in a little additional unsalted broth. For a thicker chili, mash a few more beans.

• Optional toppings include chopped cilantro, avocado, or a small spoonful of plain Greek yogurt.

• Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers and enjoy within 3–4 days. Reheat individual portions gently, adding a splash of broth if needed.

💛 A little RosemaryThyme note

Some of our favorite family recipes begin with a meal we enjoyed somewhere else, then become our own over the years. This chili is one of those recipes for us—warm, comforting, and always welcome when the cooler days return.

A Little Pause, a Little Prayer

🌿 Sunday Reflection
A Little Pause, a Little Prayer

Even at my age, I am still a work in progress—still learning, still growing, and still asking God to help me become a little wiser along the way.

One thing I continue to work on is giving myself a moment before I respond or make a decision when my emotions are running high.

Our emotions are a beautiful part of being human. They allow us to love deeply, feel compassion, find joy, and recognize when something hurts. I wouldn’t want to lose that tenderness. But I am learning that I can honor what I feel without allowing that feeling to make every decision.

Sometimes hurt leads me to assume something that may not be true. Worry can make a decision feel more urgent than it is. Even excitement can have me saying yes before I have thought things through.

James 1:19 reminds us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

I need that reminder. There have been times when a little more listening, a little less speaking, and a moment of prayer would have helped me respond with greater care.

So here is a simple word I am keeping close: PAUSE.

🌿 P — Pause and pray.
Take a breath. “Lord, help me see this clearly.”

🌿 A — Acknowledge the feeling.
Am I hurt, worried, angry, or excited? I can be honest about my feelings without criticizing myself for having them.

🌿 U — Understand the facts.
What do I actually know? What might I be assuming? Is there something I need to ask or understand before deciding?

🌿 S — See beyond this moment.
Will this choice reflect my faith and values? How might my words or actions affect someone else—and how might I feel about them tomorrow?

🌿 E — Elect a thoughtful response.
Choose my next step with care. If the decision can wait, I can give myself more time.

I won’t always remember to do this perfectly. I know myself well enough to know that! But I can keep practicing, apologize when I need to, and ask God to help me try again.

Perhaps you have found yourself learning this lesson, too.

This week, when a feeling rises and an answer seems ready to tumble out, I hope to remember:

A little pause. A little prayer. Then a thoughtful next step.

🙏 Lord, thank You for the gift of feeling deeply. Help me listen patiently, see clearly, and choose wisely. When I am quick to react, remind me to pause and make room for Your guidance. Help my words and decisions reflect Your love. Amen.

With love,
Helene 😊

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Slow Cooker Pizza Casserole

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

Friday nights are a little sweeter when supper is warm, comforting, and full of flavors the family loves. 💛🍕

We love this pizza version of pasta casserole! Tender rigatoni, ground beef and chicken, a smooth homemade tomato sauce, and melted Imo’s Provel cheese make such a cozy meal. Finishing it in the crockpot makes serving convenient—a delicious way to welcome the weekend.

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Pizza Casserole

Serves: 8–10
Slow cooker: 6-quart
Slow cooker time: Approximately 1–2 hours on LOW

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 box (16 ounces) Barilla Rigatoni
• 1 pound 93% lean ground beef
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) Great Value Organic No Salt Added Petite Diced Tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (6 ounces) Hunt’s No Salt Added Tomato Paste
• 2 teaspoons Great Value Organic Italian Seasoning
• ½ cup water, plus more as needed
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper, optional
• 12 ounces Imo’s Provel cheese, shredded and divided

🍲 Directions

  1. Add the undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, water, and optional black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and ground chicken, breaking them into small pieces, until fully cooked. The meat mixture should reach 165°F. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir the smooth tomato sauce into the cooked meat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if needed to keep the sauce slightly loose.
  4. Cook the rigatoni according to the package’s al dente directions. Drain, then stir into the hot meat and sauce mixture.
  5. Lightly grease the crockpot insert. Add half the rigatoni and meat sauce mixture, then sprinkle with half the Provel cheese. Repeat with the remaining pasta mixture and cheese.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 1–2 hours, just until hot throughout and the cheese is melted. Begin checking after 1 hour and serve promptly for the best pasta texture.

📝 Recipe Notes

• Assemble with freshly cooked, hot ingredients. The crockpot provides a gentle finish for the casserole.
• Cooking the rigatoni al dente helps it hold its shape during the slow cooker finish.
• Provel adds that familiar St. Louis pizza flavor! Taste the meat sauce before adding any salt, since the cheese contributes salt of its own.
• If making ahead and refrigerating, reheat to 165°F in the oven or microwave before transferring to the crockpot for holding.

🌿 A little RosemaryThyme note

There’s something comforting about gathering around a simple Friday night supper. A warm plate of pizza casserole, a little conversation, and the weekend ahead—sometimes those everyday moments are the ones we treasure most. 💛🏡

Rosemary Thyme Homestyle Potato & Corn Chowder

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

When fall arrived, there were always certain meals my family looked forward to—favorites we didn’t usually have during the warmer months. This potato and corn chowder is definitely one of them. 🍂

I’ve made it for decades, and it’s such a filling, comforting meal on a chilly night. I blend some of the softened potatoes to make a creamy base while leaving plenty of tender chunks, then add the sweet corn. A little milk, crisp bacon, and chives finish it beautifully.

🌿 RosemaryThyme Homestyle Potato & Corn Chowder

Makes about 8 servings

Ingredients
• 3 pounds Walmart organic red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into ½-inch pieces
• 1 carton (32 ounces) Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
• Water as needed to barely cover the potatoes
• 4 cups Great Value Frozen Sweet Corn
• 2 teaspoons RosemaryThyme seasoning blend—our blend of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary, made with Great Value Organic spices
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• ½–1 cup fat-free evaporated milk or fat-free half-and-half, optional
• 6 slices Hormel Fully Cooked Bacon, crisped according to package directions and crumbled
• 1 tablespoon dried chives, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes, chicken broth, RosemaryThyme seasoning blend, and black pepper in a large soup pot. Add just enough water to barely cover the potatoes.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer, partially covered, for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat. Keeping the immersion blender head fully submerged, blend in short bursts to create a creamy base while leaving some potato chunks. You can also set aside a few scoops of potatoes before blending, then return them to the pot.
  4. Stir in the frozen corn. Return to a gentle simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through.
  5. For a creamier chowder, stir in ½ cup fat-free evaporated milk or half-and-half, adding more if desired. Add the dried chives and warm gently for another 2–3 minutes. Avoid a rolling boil after adding the milk.
  6. Stir in the crisp bacon just before serving, or sprinkle it over each bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Recipe notes
🌿 Leave the potato skins on for a rustic chowder, or peel them if you prefer.
🌿 The blended potatoes provide the thickening, so there’s no need for flour or heavy cream.
🌿 Taste before adding salt—the bacon brings its own salty flavor.
🌿 If the chowder thickens as it sits, add a splash of unsalted broth, water, or milk when reheating.

A little RosemaryThyme note 💛
Sometimes the changing seasons bring us back to the simplest family traditions. A warm pot of chowder, familiar flavors, and everyone gathered for supper—that’s a little bit of home worth looking forward to.

🍅 ROSEMARY THYME ONE-POT ROASTED TOMATO SOUP

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

🍅🌿 A little garden patience—and a pot of homemade soup.

I harvested all of my little Baxter tomatoes and have been waiting patiently for them to ripen in the kitchen, looking forward to making my homemade roasted tomato soup.

This soup has been a family favorite for a very long time. For this version, I’m keeping things simple: roasting the tomatoes right in my Dutch oven with olive oil and my RosemaryThyme seasoning blend, then adding unsalted chicken broth and blending everything into a comforting soup. A little fat-free evaporated milk stirred in at the end gives it a creamy finish.

And a RosemaryThyme grilled cheese sandwich goes beautifully alongside it! 🍞🧀

🍅 ROSEMARYTHYME ONE-POT ROASTED TOMATO SOUP
Makes approximately 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 3 pounds ripe Baxter tomatoes, stems removed; halve small tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon RosemaryThyme House Blend, recipe below
• ¼ teaspoon Great Value Organic Ground Black Pepper, or to taste
• 2 cups Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth, plus more as needed
• ¾ cup fat-free evaporated milk, plus more to taste
• Optional: fresh basil for serving

🌿 ROSEMARYTHYME HOUSE BLEND

New to my kitchen? Here is my no-added-salt seasoning blend! I use Great Value Organic spices where available.

• 1 teaspoon powdered rosemary
• 1 teaspoon powdered thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Mix together and store in a small, tightly sealed spice jar. This makes 5 teaspoons of seasoning—use just 1 teaspoon in this soup.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F, checking that your Dutch oven is rated for that temperature.
  2. Place the prepared tomatoes in the Dutch oven. Add the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the prepared House Blend, and the black pepper. Toss gently.
  3. Roast uncovered for 45–60 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the tomatoes soften and develop browned edges. Juicy tomatoes may need a little longer.
  4. Carefully transfer the Dutch oven to the stovetop using oven mitts—the pot and handles will remain very hot. Add the chicken broth and stir to loosen the flavorful browned juices from the bottom. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, keeping the blade submerged to prevent hot splashes.
  6. Stir in the fat-free evaporated milk. Warm gently over low heat without boiling. Add a little more broth if you prefer a thinner soup, or a splash more milk for extra creaminess.

RECIPE NOTES 🍅

• No need to peel your little tomatoes—blend thoroughly. For an especially silky soup, strain after blending and before adding the milk.

• Roast uncovered so some of the tomato juices can evaporate and the flavor can concentrate.

• For anyone avoiding onion or garlic, leave those powders out of the seasoning blend.

• For a simple RosemaryThyme grilled cheese, sprinkle a small pinch of the prepared blend over your cheese before grilling your sandwich until golden.

💛 A little RosemaryThyme note

There is something so satisfying about watching those last garden tomatoes ripen, knowing they will become a meal your family loves. A warm pot of soup, a golden grilled cheese sandwich, and an autumn evening at home—that is my kind of comfort.

Eyes Open Heart Open

🌿 Sunday Reflection — Eyes Open, Heart Open

“All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.”
— James 1:17

This morning, I am reflecting on the gifts God brings into our lives—sometimes quietly, sometimes unexpectedly, and sometimes in ways that leave us overwhelmed with gratitude.

This past week brought an unexpected blessing that touched my heart deeply. Some gifts are too personal to describe fully, but we can still share the gratitude they leave behind. It was a beautiful reminder that God knows the prayers we carry quietly and the hopes we hold close.

I believe His providence is at work in our lives, even when we cannot see where the path is leading.

Then came Dennis’s surgery. Watching him come through it so well and seeing him get a little better each day has given me another reason to pause and thank God. Even amid the tiredness and the work of caring for someone you love, there is so much to be grateful for.

James 1:17 reminds us that every good gift comes from above. This week, those words feel especially close to my heart.

Sometimes we move through our days so busy with responsibilities, worries, and plans that we forget to notice the blessings already beside us. A kindness we needed. An unexpected moment of joy. Another step toward healing. The comfort of being home together.

Faith does not mean we always understand God’s timing. There are prayers we carry for years and circumstances we cannot change on our own. But we can keep praying, keep loving, and keep our hearts open to the gifts each day may bring.

Today, I am thankful for healing, for hope, and for blessings I hold quietly in my heart. I do not know what every tomorrow will bring, but I want to receive today’s gifts with gratitude and care.

Perhaps that is our invitation this Sunday: to slow down, look around, and notice the blessings we might otherwise pass by.

Keep your eyes open and your heart open. There is goodness to recognize, even in an ordinary day.

🙏 Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts I recognize and those I overlook. Give me eyes to notice Your goodness, patience to trust Your timing, and a heart ready to receive and share Your love. Help me cherish the people in my life and never take their presence for granted. Amen.

Helene 😊
