Liv's Recipe of the Day

I'm getting back to using my slow cooker more often and have this heating up as we speak. I haven't tried this recipe before but I can tell just from tasting it as I was putting it together that it's going to be FaNtAsTiC.


I love my slow cooker! I can put something in it in the morning and dinner is done! I don't have to worry about throwing something together in the evening and try to time it so it's still warm when Tim get's home - and I never know when that's going to be so it's very frustrating. Because of his schedule we gradually were eating later and later, sometimes 10 at night! With the slow cooker Andrew and I can eat earlier in the evening (not that he's going to eat this soup!) and whenever Tim gets home dinner is still nice and warm. If you don't have a slow cooker, get one! But you can simmer this in a regular pot also. I also love the slow cooker because come dinner time you don't have dirty pots and pans piled up in the kitchen.

You can add meat to this recipe if you want but I left it as is. And Aaron, you can make it vegetarian friendly by using veggie broth. I added a couple of chopped up parsnips because I love them and pretty much anything that calls for carrots can have a few parsnips too. I'm passing on the rice because it's just unneccessary. I can't wait until it's done tonight. Mmmmm....
