We are hearing from you that you want more slow cooker recipes. This fill-the-pot, set it and forget it method of cooking is very helpful in getting tasty, nutritious dinners on the table with little fuss.
Soups are particularly easy to put together with a minimum amount of prep. Earlier this week we shared a video that demonstrated an easy way to dice peppers. It will come in handy for this recipe.
A salad or slices of warm, buttered bread is all you need to have a complete meal. Set the slow cooker on warm and the soup can keep for hours, which is nice for those evenings when everyone is on a different schedule.
Tip: Remember to use a liner in your slow-cooker. It makes clean up so much easier.
